This series of 5 booklets is a collection of spontaneous drawings made between October 2018 and November 2023, spanning five years during which I poured thoughts, monsters, moments, experiences, and people from my life onto the pages. I filled almost 5 small notebooks (around 600 drawings), sketching freely with one rule in mind:
if you don't like what you're doing, it doesn't matter.
There's no right or wrong mark—just keep going.
Mess it up, ruin it. If you find it ugly, make it even uglier.

This approach allowed me to bring my drawing practice, practically blocked for as long as I can remember, back to what it should be: a pure outlet, a simple means to express what's inside me, an interpretation of the world around me, an experiment with forms, compositions, and textures.
All of this is done with a carefree approach, devoid of specific stylistic ambitions or obsessive technical pursuits.

In this case, I defend not the quality but the quantity, the practice, the abundance of trials and experiments that, day by day, help me understand myself better and make me more liberated.
