I had a collection of 730 pieces and I thought it would be really sad not to show them all in one spot. We posted on Instagram, asking if there was a gallery that has a gap sometime in the year... It was incredible, towards the end of the year, I got a call from Christian Dior in France.

It would have to be the painting of our house that I did on our wedding day, i always like the figure I'm currently designing the most.

I wanted to spend an hour a day finishing an artwork every single day, and the only thing I could finish in an hour was something that small, as it became more important to me, I began quitting my other jobs and spending more time on the paintings. Now it's literally 8 hours a day!

The first thing is do a course that's going to teach you the practical realities of being an artists, because there's a lot of business involved.

Selective attention to detail, at times, my studio is so chaotic that I need to clear a small space on my desk amidst the pile of papers, paints, plants and figurines just to be able to work, but I'd spend an hour erasing and rewriting a letter that's a fraction of a millimeter too low/high/big/small.
