Interviewed by: Tony for MONARKH magazine on the 22/09/2008

1) How did you first get into design?

I studied graphic design at college, In class I got good grades for my drawings, but at that time me and my family didn’t think this could be a future career for me.

2) How you would best describe your work?

It’s like listening to music, but you have to listen to it more often to get the message. In terms of visuals, maybe my works reflect lines, cubes, surreal story, and shocking colors.

3) What inspires you the most?

I have many inspirations at different times. Right now, it’s science, God, and the existence.

4) How do you normally start work on a project?

First I think about the message, then the idea, and then I imagine it like a film or a movie. I then sketch my work and then I scan it or even trace it, and let my intuition guide me.

5) On average, how many hours a week do you spend on design?

Some days it could be up to 6 hours, I don’t know the exact time. So, in a week that would normally be around 30 hours, besides sketching and other things that could be involved in the process.

6) What style music do you listen to when you work?

I listen to any range of music, from classic to modern music, like rock, dance and pop. But when I’m working I prefer to listen to my CPU sound, it’s like the I-Doser, makes me more focus.

7) Who do you admire the most and why?

Hmm that’s hard question, I admire everyone that generates inspiration for me. Mostly from art to Stanley Kubrick! I really love most of his movies, such as: A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shining.

8) Favorite website(s)?

9) Any words of wisdom you would like to share with us?

I thought of this a week ago: “We live in explosions of slow motion in infinite speed.” - In case you’re wondering about it, it’s the Universe.
