My Goal

I aim to create a graphic work where Visual elements replace texts, communicating ideas quickly and entertaining, translating a complex piece of information into something comprehensible for everyone. For achieving this self-imposed goal I use vector for 90% of my drawings, trying to be minimalist whenever it is possible and using a limited color palette and basic geometric shapes. That old cliché 'minus is more' applies to my work, why not
