LC – What are your thoughts while you paint? Do you have any habits or rituals while you work?
BC – When I start to paint I immerse myself in my inner world and let what is inside me flow and many times I express my state of mind in them, It could be said that my works are a reflection of me. My ritual is to be comfortable and listen to my favourite music

LC – What is the most challenging part of creating your works of art?
BC – The most challenging part of my work is to create the same emotions, feelings and impulses for everyone who observes them in the same way that I express them.

LC – How is your creative process?
BC – During a period of time in my mind all those feelings and sensations are being composed and then I mentally look for a way to capture them and I make several sketches of the same idea with various techniques.

LC – What is the message linked to the work of art that you have shown in this event? How does it connect with the theme of the entire exhibition?
