Ghost of Chanoyu

"The Japanese tea ceremony, or Cha-no-yu, meaning “hot water for tea”, is more than an elaborate ritual. It is an interlude in which one leads oneself for the moment to the spirit of beauty, quietude, and politeness toward others."
Made for a contest for a tea company
tools: watercolor tubes+ white acrylics+ color pencils

The passage

Tools: watercolour tubes + color pencils

Hidden Strength

Comission of an original character. Part of a charity project at DeviantArt (http://www.deviantart.com) Operation Reiki (http://operation-reiki.deviantart.com/) aims to gather funds to aid the people of Japan in light of the recent natural disasters. The painting was really challenging because of the amount of details and the size. I had never worked in something so big!

Tools: watercolour tubes, colour pencils and white acrylic for some details.
60 x 28 cm

"Sueños de papel" comic pages

"Sueños de papel" (Paper Dreams) , is a comic made for a national contest in December , 2010. Since its still to be remade, corrected and translated to English, I only chose to upload the strongest pages instead of the whole story (which is divided in three chapter of which the first is already made).
I hope you like it!
Tools: grey textured paper, graphite, ink, white pencil.

Synthos

 

Based on a class assignment were we had to resignify in a free illustration the elements of a dead nature we were doing before: it was a brick, a big vase made of a material like a clay and a rusty kettle. I associated nature and earth with masculinity and metal and rust with feminenity, so the picture is a sort of synthesis of both. There also is a little story behind the fish and the birds.Tools: graphite.
