10. OBRAS
Para crear as súas obras usa o que
encontra ao seu paso creando nelas un
caos organizado.

utiliza en moitas das súas ilustracións.
Nalgúns dos seus últimos traballos
empregou unha técnica completamente
artesanal, o linogravado.
11. OBRAS
Gusta moito a expresividade dos seus trazos, a
alegría e a calor que desprenden as súas obras
que a pesar de estar enfocadas, na maior parte
dos casos, a un público infantil – xuvenil gustan á
gran maioría pola súa espontaneidade.
