INSPIRATION TRAVELS

Traveling the world is one of the most incredible things that ever happened to me. It allowed me to open horizons and above all to improve my knowledge and learn a lot about the world we live in. During my short experience abroad, more specifically in Japan in 2016 and Argentina and Chile in 2018, where I spent almost one year in each country, it allowed me to develop my ability to interact with people in different languages ​​and evolve outside my comfort zone.
It may not be directly linked to my activity as an illustrator but it is actually a source of inspiration in many ways and helped me to grow up and enrich my visual culture.
