All my work is done using the technique called collage (from the French coller), which translates “to paste,” which is an artistic technique that consists of the construction of plastic works through the agglomeration or conjunction of pieces or cutouts from different origins, “trying” to give a unified tone format. In other words, it is about assembling work with bits obtained from other sources such as photographs, illustrations, Artcraft, images in magazines, and everyday objects.
On a personal level, my artistic style is deeply rooted in Kitsch, a style known for its vibrant colors, bold shapes, and striking elements. I often incorporate illustrations from the public domain into my work. My fascination with antiquities and furniture is a recurring theme, evident in the costumes of my characters and the environments where my works’ narratives unfold.
My image sources can include images and cuttings from very old magazines that are passed through a scanner to be processed into digital format. Therefore, it is very possible that the final prints do not have uniform images and can have different textures.

The definition of a giclee is a beautiful, long-lasting technology for fine art or photograph reproduction. It uses a high-quality inkjet printer to make individual copies of different sizes and materials.

The image is a striking and surreal portrait featuring an anthropomorphic panda dressed in contemporary urban attire, set against a dark, textured background. This unique blend of animal and human characteristics, combined with modern fashion elements, creates a visually captivating and thought-provoking composition.
At the center of the image stands the anthropomorphic panda, depicted with lifelike precision. The panda’s head is rendered with great attention to detail, showcasing its distinctive black and white fur, expressive eyes, and round ears. The panda’s gentle yet confident expression conveys a sense of calm and poise, making it an engaging focal point of the image.
The panda is dressed in a stylish black leather jacket, which adds a modern, edgy vibe to the composition. The jacket is well-fitted, with visible zippers and stitching details that enhance its realistic appearance. The sleek texture of the leather contrasts with the soft fur of the panda, creating an interesting interplay between different materials and textures.
Underneath the leather jacket, the panda wears a white T-shirt with the iconic “I ♥ NY” logo printed on it. The bold red heart and black lettering stand out against the white fabric, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic outfit. This T-shirt is a symbol of affection for New York City, adding a layer of cultural reference and personal expression to the panda’s character.
The background of the image is a dark, textured surface that provides a stark contrast to the panda and its attire. The texture of the background adds depth and context, suggesting an urban setting that complements the modern fashion elements of the panda’s outfit. The simplicity of the background ensures that the focus remains on the central figure, enhancing the overall impact of the image.
The overall color palette of the image is predominantly black and white, with the red heart on the T-shirt providing a striking focal point. This limited color palette creates a cohesive and visually pleasing composition, emphasizing the panda’s unique blend of natural and urban elements. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, making the character appear lifelike and three-dimensional.
The meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of the panda, its attire, and the background elements showcases the artist’s skill and creativity. Each element is carefully crafted to create a cohesive and immersive scene that invites viewers to explore the imaginative world portrayed in the image.
This artwork evokes themes of identity, urban culture, and the blending of different realms. The anthropomorphic portrayal of the panda, with its combination of natural grace and contemporary style, challenges conventional perceptions of identity and self-expression. The use of modern attire and a dark, textured background adds layers of cultural and visual significance, suggesting a narrative that transcends ordinary reality.
