/>Who (or what) do you love?:

I love
my Bianca son, I love some people who are always of my side supporting me, I
love when my work provokes some sensation in the people…


Who

Well… Lautrec, Mordillo, Mutarelli, Kandinsky, Keith Haring, Andy
Warhol, Basquiat… and very same Miro!


What other artists do
you most admire?

Banksy, Arthur de
Pins, the Twin, Viche, Herbert, Cha, all the 11 artists of street art collective
“Lambdalambs” (that I am member) and many others…

How would
you describe your art to someone who could not see it?

style="font-weight: bold;">My art is simple, searchs references in the rupestres
registrations and the infantile trace.  Few people understand the message who I
look for to transmit, but taste of this.


What other talent
would most like to have?

Another
talent is difficult!  But I find that I know to deal well with the people, to
make friendships… I am very comunicativa.


What do you fear
the most?

I have fear that they do
not understand me, as much as artist, as much as a person in the
world.


What is your greatest ambition?

I want to see a world evolved intellectually, promoting art
and culture, giving value to that really would have.  It will be that it is to
ask for excessively?
