After graduating from university, he began working as a commercial illustrator in the 1990s. Around 2015, he began exhibiting his original work alongside client work. Since 2022, he has been depicting a world where the everyday and the extraordinary coexist, with Yeti as the protagonist, a character who is neither a nobody nor anyone.

When and what prompted you to start working as a writer?
— I lived in Germany from 2010 to 2013, and during that time I took a break from work, which prompted me to start drawing original pictures.

Do you have a theme in mind when you paint?
— I don’t have a specific theme in mind, but I will continue to search for a happy match between something inside me and my technique and expression.

As an artist, what are your goals and what would you like to do in the future?
— None in particular.
