I'm just a self taught extremely patient hobbyist guy.

I've always been interested in drawing, sculpting and painting since i was 2 years old.

I started drawing and developing my own style of ballpoint pen drawing back when I was in school, in simple classroom sketches in the back of my exercise books, back then I didn't even had Internet (1995) so I never imagined there were so many brilliantly masterful ballpoint artists out there.

I never thought about myself as being good, believe it or not I actually failed 2 times at art class and had below average grades the rest of the years. Go figure out why.

Actually I completely stopped practicing with ballpoint drawing up until 2011, when I did most of the the works you see here. I had never even used color ballpoints before the year 2011... I only used blue, red or black.


I'm just glad to be here, I want to learn a lot, see a lot, and enjoy to its fullest what other fellow artists have to share.

It takes me forever to do my works. The only thing that makes me keep going is my love for what I do and the ambition to go further and further.

Ballpoint pens are as underestimated as they are a powerful medium.

It's not about what you use, it's about how you use it.
