Fascinated by the great symbols of the collective history, I use them as an alphabet to communicate.

I can certainly identify with The Villain. A Villain is someone who has a past, who is strongly opinionated, fearless, doesn't get intimated by anything, and went beyond suffering. It's an empowerment figure.

Pop is about speaking everybody's language. The imagery and iconography we instantly recognize. When you can rely on things that the public already knows, you're dealing with Pop.

I have a transgressive spirit, and Pop is transgression's best friend.

Nothing I do is natural, realistic, organic or accidental. I'm never spontaneous, I'm completely premeditated.

A red nose is the clown's mask and my moustache is mine.

I'm a Joker. Dangerous and silly at the same time.

I had artistic classical training, and when you learn the classics for so many years, you might gain audacity, power and confidence to subvert everything. I am like the originals buffoons. I love the rules because I can break them.

All my images are self-portraits, even when I'm not in them.
