Favourite movie and why?
“I’ve always been in loved with the little details of life, with the things that go camouflaged as mundane.

A movie about a hopeless romantic that uses his time travelling powers to find the love of his life and make his family happy.”

Has your style changed over time?
“Completely. It’s part of growing; you gotta change, and your art changes with you. Is something that you learn to embrace and love, and you shouldn’t be scared of that.”
What do you hope to accomplish with your art?

Who in your life inspires you?
“The list would be endless. But, in this new stage where I’m trying to figure out with way I want to take my life in, I would have to say that my partner really inspires me. He is the one that gets to see how all this new experiences affect me in real life; and I am really grateful to have somebody like him to support me through this journey.”
