About

Paper and ink, or a pencil, have been with me for most of my life. They are often how I work things out and imagine what comes next, and one of the many ways I play.

Playing with other people's lines is one of those games. If someone leaves doodles in my notebooks, I turn them into creatures, suns and boats. This site starts the same way. You draw a line, and the page keeps drawing from it.

Getting here took almost three months. I started in August with a portfolio and kept taking things out and putting others in, but nothing let me feel at peace with it. The project is very personal, and so is the art direction. I didn't want to make one more website, or a container for loose pieces. I wanted the space itself to be a work of art, with my story as the author and some of my memories as the work. So I went over it again and again, down to the smallest detail.

What it became is a biographical piece, a walk through personal memories and professional projects. It holds what I lived and what I learned, what I started or joined, and the curiosity that never runs out and keeps me moving.

The drawing engine is generative, and I trained it with my own drawings. I showed it on video how I draw, and I drew over twenty-four basic shapes to turn them into what my eyes see in each one. A circle became a face, a sun or a chubby chick with a crown; a zigzag, a wolf's teeth; a spiral, a snail. Its style comes from my sketchbooks, with masks, many eyes, hatching, scales and horns. It doesn't copy my drawings. It understands my technique, my styles and my patterns. Every drawing grows from its own seed, the number you see in the corner.

I built it with AI and guided it the way I direct any project. When something interests me, the idea of it fills the quiet moments of the day, while I cook, shower, walk the dogs or train. I turn the possibilities over before I try anything.

There was a moment when I went to paper and ink to put my ideas in order, my memories and all the material around them, and before the pages filled up, it all made sense.

“Show how your mind works through the process you use to understand yourself. Paper, ink and doodles that take shape, the same way ideas do. The charm of one idea leading to another. And since your mind doesn't forget but hides things, hide some of your own in this space too.”

Talking to myself as if I were someone else is part of my process too.

What is left to build needs the same care and an open-ended amount of time: understanding what I want to share, what this space will become, what to tune or detune, which texts to write and which to edit, gathering the material and turning my handwriting into a typeface that can be used.

It is an invitation to get to know me and to make something together.
