One moving day I found a suitcase full of family pictures. Most of them were copies and i could use them without destroying the familial inheritance…

Before that, I use to draw or paint, and the family albums was part of my inspiration, but this time I could use these images directly. I started to change faces and all the images were overwhelming… My characters became real and the range of emotions became larger.

Collage wasn’t part of my culture and that’s why I liked it. I felt more free. I became addict with the rapidity of execution and possibility of surprise. The realism of the photography and the lightness of the drawing mixed together… I consider my images like drawings with flesh and blood. A poetic surgery…
