2. Why art?
I started drawing on the computer through Corel with studies in the VIP room. I saw an advertisement about drawings by Oficina Daniel Azulay, I introduced myself and the beginning of manual drawings in several categories took place. I was indicated to continue the OBERG COURSE. I made another series of drawings until the indication of Painting.

I didn’t have that concern.
4. What are your favorite themes? What materials do you use in your works?
My favorite subjects Geometry and Op Art. The materials I use are canvas, brushes, a pan, cloth, table to support, because I don’t like easels and sometimes gummed tape.
