Did you study art or is it inherent? I studied it but that helped me just to awaken what I had already inside.

1-Where do you currently live and create? 

I live between Toronto and Florence.

2-What is your earliest childhood memory of making art? 

My earliest memory of art was the art show in the last year of kindergarten. All the drawings were exhibited on the wall in a line, and my mom was looking and expecting my work to be the best artwork, but as she kept looking and looking she couldn’t find it. Surprised, she asked the teacher where my piece was, and the teacher, with a very serious expression, pointed at the last piece of paper which had a few holes on it due to the strong rubbing of the marker on the same spot. I think my mom knew at that moment that I wasn’t going to become a doctor or lawyer.

3-What did your path to becoming an artist look like? 

It’s a long journey everyday is a new chance to get better and redeem yourself. It’s a series of moments where you see infinite possibilities.
