Having spent my childhood abroad, in Manhattan and Tokyo, I believe my
illustrations ultimately have different roots of influence. The nature in my
drawings is a blend of surreal flavors: there is a vague oriental predisposition
which acts as a background to the bizarre fusion of characters belonging to a
rather dark fairy-tale. They can be visualized both by adults and children, in
different ways: adults are able to pick up the very subtle details of perversion,
but this element exists only in the mature imagination; the ingenuine essence of
children allows them to filter naturally through these obscure components,
allowing them to live only the experience of magic, stars, charms and cosmic
balloons.
