So what is your creative process?
DP: It's a diary of everything that I draw. Figures are abstract or figurative. It is as if talking to another person who is not present. When I draw it is as if I am in a game and cannot betray my own rules. I have to turn cohesive that scope of my work; it becomes quite difficult when you put a goal so high. When I make it is very enriching.
Had you ever had some training in design?
DP: No, I had media training, but drawing is inherent in me. Before I used to go to the old school of fine arts, had contact with the artists, even without lessons aesthetics, already knew something. I think what was important was to have learned as much with the people around me. When they had an opinion their critics was constructive and it was creating in me new insights and new ways of looking. The reading also helped greatly over the years.
Your works are an abstraction of reality, or the worlds you have inside you?
DP: It is an abstraction of the worlds within me. I'm creating, I do not know in which direction, but it is intuitive. At age 12 had I contacted with Zen culture through a book and found it fascinating what they do in terms of contemplation, what they make before grabbing a paper and calligraphying a poem. It is a process in which anything cannot fail in the world. I found it all fascinating. Hence having abolished the pencil altogether. Spend working on sketches with a pen.
Would you say that this is a feature of your dash?
DP: I do not know to set my work; I have references from comics, though it is not comic. Like the geometry and dynamics of the entire comic explosion. I use it in the abstract in the sense that it is strange to the outside. Much has been made in terms of design, is the skeleton of a work often. From that skeleton we can see what the work itself, not complete is or finished, which I think is the work of other artists. For me it's a lock not to understand how they got there, had to see them from the drawing, which is why it is important to me Alberto Giacometti, its fluidity, its solid lines to try to discover the way in design, although he is more recognized by the sculpture, the drawing is very accurate. It is an artist who influenced me greatly in working the draft, take it as an ultimate language, is somewhat expressionistic and do not know where it fits current, I know that had an impact on me and quick steps helped me build a figure without lifting the pen tip, chalk, pencil wax and make fabulous portraits.
