Why did you choose to enter this work?
In my artwork I like to explore the movement of the human body and also the use of colour. They are two of my favorite themes.

What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
The explosion of colour, movement and dynamism that Marc Sarret gave to animation.

What excites you most about being shortlisted?
It's always exciting to be shortlisted. I was already selected in 2021and 2023 and it was a very rewarding experience.

Where do you usually work?
I work in a creative coworking space, La Maca. Sharing space with other creatives helps me create professional connections, share skills and and collaborate on projects like this shortlisted project.

What is your dream commission?
I would like to work for one of my passions such as music or basketball. Some work for the NBA or making an album cover for one of my favorite bands, like Radiohead or Idles, would be a dream.

What’s your favourite thing to draw?
I love to explore the movement of the human body and distorting feet, hands and other body parts to emphasize actions.

What is your best tip for other illustrators?
Constancy in this job is vital. Never stop trying and work with passion.

What are your plans for the future?
Enjoying my family and my little son, and continuing to work on what I'm passionate about, selecting projects that make me grow as an artist and as a person.
