I grew up in the bosom of a typical traditional chinese family in Madrid, I spent almost my entire childhood drawing at a restaurant table surrounded by “spring rolls” and cantonese rice...

One day, Fernando, our neighbour, was having dinner at our restaurant and asked me:
– Do you like drawing?

– Yes

– Do you want to learn how to paint?

– Mmm, yes sir...

– Then, I will introduce you to my friend Mariano, he is a painter. He will teach you properly at his studio, don’t worry, he won’t charge you anything. We’ll go tomorrow to see him so you can meet him, ok?
– …

So this is how everything began; with a scrawled napkin.
