How old are you and where are you based?

I have a 33 years old and live in Buenos Aires Argentina.

When did you get into Art and what made you start?

In 2002, I completed the Graphic Design studies at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina

Between 2003 and 2007, I worked as a designer and artist for Cartoon Network & Adult Swim.

Having the opportunity to apply the design and creativity

Five years ago I started with my own career as an artist and art director.

How would you describe your style?

I think my style is a mixture of several things the 1970s American Comix, the Asian classic fine art and the classic art Noveau paintings.
I think my art communicates a profound future visions, fears, nostalgia of the youth.

Always I looking to have a basic composition which is simple to see and be understood.

Your work has been showcased worldwide and has been in many publications, what's been your proudest moment to date?

So far that gives me more pride in my artistic career, it’s to have been invited as a leading figure in the Pixel Show in Porto Alegre Brazil. This is one of the most important festivals of contemporary Latin American art.

And now be in the exhibition called "Conquistadores" to be opened in May 2010 in Berlin Germany in a group of Latin American man most renowned urban artists.

Describe a normal day in the life of Pulpo.
Every morning I go to my study in which I make an artistic direction for video games. Working for clients such as Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Marvel.

But usually I work on different pieces at a time, sometimes I have five pictures at the same time and I finished as required.

I drawing usually late at night, is to me a time of day in which I can concentrate better.

Yes, I sleep little!

Where does your inspiration come from?

My inspiration comes from everything I see, Comic, television, books I read, movies, etc.

Basically comes from my cultural consumption. But it mainly comes from the books I read, that's what generates me more inspiration.

But by far the biggest inspiration are the things that happen to me as a person. That's what moves me to start and finish a piece.

Name three things you love and three you hate.

- I love to read a great book
- I love be at home drawing with the company of my girl
- I Love to have some beers with my friends

- I hate ignorance
- I hate the people who run art galleries conservative and do not see the urban art of genuine expression of this time
- I hate people who spend your day and life on facebook.

Cheers for your time Pulpo, is there anything else you'd like to add?

Thank you very much, and I hope it continues for a long time PimpArtworks ahead with their projects and I can continue be a part.
