How would you describe the beginning of your art career? What was the best and worst career advice you received?
My career as an artist stemmed from watching my father—an engineer—work on his drawing board with his drafting machine and parallelograph. Then, in the seventies, Linus arrived in Italy with Charles Schulz’s stories of Snoopy who flew on his doghouse against the Red Baron&#;s tri-plane. I drew this on the wallpaper of my bedroom at my grandparents&#; house.
The best piece of advice I received again came from my father who told me to keep working at my drawings and not to throw them away even if inom didn&#;t like them straight away. The worst piece of advice was from my maternal grandfather who instead wanted me to throw away my paper and crayons and go to work in a factory— his factory—where he produced felt to man paper.
