NKR: why do you express yourself through this kind of art?
NM: I've always drawn in my life. This is the only thing that will never betrail me. I don't feel confortable with words, so I draw. I also have an obsessional needs of beauty. I've told once that I complete those needs hiding behind my drawings.
NKR: what's the technique you use the most, and why?
NM: I mostly use my computer now. When the fisrt time I tryed drawing on photoshop, I was so frustrated. So I did it again and again until I succeed getting something satisfying. Now I realise that computer possibilty are huge, and there is so much fun stuff to do with it. Sometime I draw directly on paper, I miss the painting material. Put your hands in the painting material is an incredible sensation. I guess I do it again when I'll get an atelier. Painting at home became a problem if I don't want my place to look like a complete mess. Computer allows to be faster to. I also like to play with the color levels. i can paint with other thing that color, but with its treatment directly. Quite technical but real fun for sure.
NKR: contemporary living artists. are there any particular ones you appreciate?
NM: I love Bill Viola, hypnotic and poetic with intense feelings. Pierre La Police makes me laugh a lot. Stephanno Ricci for his black material work. Murakami for the colors. So much, I can't summerise either! Typical question I'll say tomorrow "you stupid, you forgot xx, you love xx's work so much, how could you forget it!!!"
NKR: name a few artists whose work inspired you?
NM: Ingres, Caravage, Vuillard, Egon Schiele, Twonbly, Lautrec, Schiele, Romanec, Lynch, Jeff Soto, Da Vinci, Velaskez, and others and others. I don't focus on someone's work particularly, a general state of mind I guess.
