1 Relax

“Monsters are always represente­d as beings without any personalit­y, so I always try to play with their body shape and facial expression. This lizard is silent, but clearly expresses its nonchalanc­e towards the world around him.”

2 The Warrior

“This man will give everything for his land, even though his efforts are forgotten. In this illustrati­on I focused on conveying the man’s sense of deep pride through his armour and giant sword.”

3 Aw Crap!

“I love to show the weakness of some higher beings against creatures who they think are beneath them. In this, there’s a human being who feels insignific­ant in the compositio­n.”

4 Granny Mode

“A perfect moment to show the young people the real power of the granny’s experience. When I paint a character, I try to capture their personalit­y and charm. Here, the granny has a real connection with nature.”
