The passion for drawing, tattooing, and art in general occurred in the early years of my life. I still remember when I was five, with my knees on the chair to copy on a sheet the legendary cover of my school notebook with over Grand “He Man.”. Spend a few moments of my life next to my father, who was then a truck driver (driving a ‘car was his greatest passion), and watch him step by step draw a truck with a trailer, the tires, and the details of the cabin. They are great memories. From here it all started: the curiosity to draw everything from faces to landscapes, to the details of the eye, which is the highest expression of a face, to the beauty of the human body, not to mention the techniques of pencil, chalk, watercolors, charcoal, and the technique that I prefer more: oil painting.
Becoming my profession, the dedication and commitment to grow artistically led me to achieve a high technical level. I could say that an artist actually does what it does, not because it sees it as a job but more than anything because of the extreme passion that comes from within. It’s ‘a feeling that anyone who has within themselves should manifest themselves as communicating and telling a story, and if it did, would look bad for not being himself. My artistic experience began at age 14, I had a very important background due to the fact of having worked in an art studio in academic setting, as in Renaissance, it allowed me to learn about all of ‘ art and how to develop it to the fullest. The move to the tattoo initially was strong and impactful in terms of mental and psychological aspects, but I felt strong in the technical and artistic side to my cultural background.
Now I’m a tattoo artist as well as a painter, and I must say that the two arts all ‘now I speak and exchange impressions and opinions about how one can grow the other. A ‘experience magnificent pass from hand to hand and from canvas to a person’s skin opens completely new artistic visions. It ‘was in fact an important transition, change the media work, the painting allows you to do a lot of things; and you do not have the difficulty of having tight deadlines.
On the skin, in addition to the difficulty in being firm and precise, we must also be able to give the best of ourselves in a limited time. The pain causes intolerance and impatience, and every person has a threshold that is very subjective. One of the positive things the tattoo has instead of paint is the exchange of energy and passion that a tattoo can contain within itself—a world of a thousand meanings, an emotional one. For more tattooing a person, it represents a history that still lives and walks because it will be the customer to tell the why and how of their tattoo.
