I am a self-taught artist. I design out of pure passion. As a young man, I explored various techniques: watercolor, oil and tempera. Then, in 2020, the year of Covid, I started drawing again with pencil and charcoal and since then, whenever I can, I turn off my mind and start drawing. With practice I refined my technique until I achieved what can be seen in my profile, always trying to improve and experiment. I mainly use graphite; in multiple ways: pencil, brush, paper. Sometimes I combine shades of charcoal with the pencil. In other works I have used colored pencils only to provide focal points of color on a base of gray, white and black.
