Color, shape, line, texture. Which is the most important to you when creating your designs?

I'd say shapes and lines (I mean the composition of the image and the character design) are the most important things. Textures could make the difference between a cold and flat digital image and a warm and evocative artwork. Colors are the less important thing, most times they are interchangeable and a good illustration should work perfectly also in gray scale tones.

Most of your works feature the shade of color "blue", why did you choose this kind of color?

I don't have any particular preference for blue. I'm used to send my art directors some different color options and the blue option is statistically their favorite, that's why you can see lot of blue images in my portfolio. As for me, I'd prefer yellow-orange-brown tones. But blue is cool, it's a meditative and "foreground" color in which is easy to highlight a bright, warm-colored spot.

Can you share to us your design philosophy?

I don't know if I have one. My only purpose is trying to be as much synthetic as I can in expressing concepts. I wish I could have a fixed formula to do strong, evocative concepts, but I don't have it! Most times it's better to leave mind wanders casually in order to get the right idea.

What projects or activity you enjoy doing the most?

I love playing games, such as football, tennis, video games, chess, word puzzles and so on. Now I'm thinking about it, I've always lived drawing as a kind of game.

What advice would you give to the aspiring artists who are just starting their journey in the world of art

Just keep pursuing their goals with all their strength because it's a very competitive field, and keep having pleasure in doing art.
