Biography

The main content of my woodblock prints makes a social commentary by utilizing traditional woodcut techniques combined with current images from popular culture. By means of an alter-ego figure based upon a graphic comic book style that I have developed since childhood, I explore my place within the chaotic scenarios that often occur in today’s society.
