<\/a><\/p>\nAt what age did you start drawing?<\/p>\n
In fact I would say that at the age of 1, I remember I did a painting and filled with paint stains.<\/p>\n
How do you decide for your carrier?<\/p>\n
Even tough I wanted at the beginning to study animation, I do not research very well.\u00a0 So I finally decided for this carrier and I learned to do many more things such as emotion graphics. Also I found that I like editing and post-production, so I could expand my mind beyond animation.<\/p>\n
\u00bfDo you have a favourite illustrator or someone as a reference for your own work?<\/p>\n
I love Raindrop Memory, and also like Ilya Kuvshinov, although what he does not look like anything of my work, but I admire him a lot.\u00a0 I also really like Yotam Perel, who is an Israeli animator and illustrator.<\/p>\n
Do you think you have your own style or all your illustrations are mixture of style?<\/p>\n
It’s a mix of everything I’ve seen and I love since childhood. Well , when I was a teenager and I started to get more involved with the Internet content.\u00a0 I could see illustrators from around the world. While I was discovering my own style I took pieces of what I liked most of the others, because that’s what happens when you see someone you like, you tend to attract to them.<\/p>\n
I know it’s a clich\u00e9 question, but do you find inspiration when illustrating something or you just let the art run across you?<\/p>\n
When I am making stories, like animations, I like to hear music. Always before I develop an \u00a0idea, I normally found a song that totally catches my attention. I am very visual, I imagine a story in my mind and sometimes I like to turn them into animations.<\/p>\n
How do you see the development of illustration in Ecuador? Or is still to much to reach the vision that it has internationally?<\/p>\n
Well, both. In Ecuador is still the storytelling in the animation not exploited, or I have seen that they are totally commercial things. There is only advertising and animation programs for children, but not beyond like in other countries.<\/p>\n
How did the idea of collaborating with Ecua-Andino emerge?<\/p>\n
Three months ago I was in Europe, because I went to an interuniversity exchange with my best friend. When we finished classes, we made an Eurotrip and I accompanied her to the hats shows in Germany. While others looked what they sold, I sat down and started to draw girls with Ecua-Andino Hats and then I show them to Alejandro, Alejandra and Claudia. They really liked.\u00a0 I did the draw with a pencil and then painted in my cellphone, in fact it was very spontaneous, unprofessional or unelaborated. Then they contacted me and from there I started working with them.<\/p>\n
