A ball? No, it's a planet with trees, houses and colorful birds.
Although I had been thinking about it for some time, I really decided to open my shop when I knew I had lost my job. What until then has just been a hobby became a project with great enthusiasm. That happened in 2008. Now, a few years have passed, I fondly remember my first sale and the first congratulations words for my work. This gave me a lot of encouragement to keep going.
I love color and playing with it. Felt, my favorite material, becomes a spectacularly colored plasticine. I like going for a relaxing walk, taking photos of the trees and admiring buildings. I like illustrations and comics and I love films.
Yes, Inspiration comes when I look at the world around me and let my imagination fly.
Everything starts with a drawing.
When an idea comes, I have to write it down as fast as I can, a small sketch, a phrase, something not to forget it. I always carry a notebook, in my bag or in my car. Sometimes it has a quick development or it often watts for a few weeks. Maybe I try it later, until I get something that really satisfies me.
I have a world map where I mark the places where my creations travel. I know I’m never going to go to most of those places, that´s why I like to look for images of the countries where they have gone. I like knowing that my work is so far away. This is fascinating for me.
I get so happy when they arrive ay their destination and people tell me that they have smiled when they see them.
Thank you!
