I solved it taking a lot of hours to study ( reading a lot of books, practicing anatomy...).
Q4: What factors contributed to the formation of your unique artistic style?
The most part of the things that formed my style like is now is the place where I live and the things that I do when I am not drawing.I like Barcelona a lot, is a place with a lot of parties and cool ambiance.
But also an obvious thing that formed my style was my art professors (Mike Ratera, Daniel Vendrell, Pere Pérez, Juan San Miguel...) they gave me a lot of knowledge.
Q5: As we all know, your animated character Yoko is very popular. What is the original intention of creating this character?

and now it Is the most popular character I have on the internet!
Q6. Many people said that they have been inspired by your paintings. We are curious about how you get inspired.
I get inspired a lot when I go to do sport (I know its strange but...) I do flexibility classes, Pole sports classes... and all the poses of the dancers, the light of the rooms, the ambiance is
very warm, pink, sexy and feminine... and also the women that are there are empowered and that inspired me a lot.
Another thing that inspires me is music, music always made me feel a lot of different feelings and emotions.
