An approach to the digital canvas creating directly from the stylus in the digital canvas, sketching, drawing and painting into the screen allowing me to capture the gestual energy involved, then processing with a wide range of digital tools, not emulating art techniques with the digital media instead of using them to create a digital creation itself and through a wide range of processing techniques.

My aproach when i face the digital canvas, and the process of creation takes an attitude towards the bottom line, crossing throug my expectations, to witness and unfold my gestual traces, discovering new forms.
