alway go up to their work and they open my eyes then I go to the streets and
leave what they have left me.

What other artists do you

Artists that make their work out on the
street and people who get along well with drawing, whatsmore I don?t think in an
artist that doesn?t draw because I think that when you are drawing you resolve
problems dealing with your art.

your art to someone who could not see it?


It?s very
personal and full of simbolism, the resume the result of several years in work,
I use snails very much and faces on my characters.

Music, definitely
music and writing, to have all arts inside of me, but i am not that worry about
it because I can paint it.


What do you fear the
most?


To die without paintig all that I want or improve
my art, death in the whole meanings is what I fear the most.


/>What is your greatest ambition?

achieve what I
want and maybe represent my country with my art and if I can paint all over
Peru.
