How does surf inspire your art?
We, surfers, tend to see things differently then other people. So I believe my relation with surfing makes me see, feel and approach the art of photographing in a special way.

Which surfers inspire your art?
There are many surfers that help us when capturing images, without a doubt Kelly Slater is the best surfer in the last 10 to 15 years and a big source of inspiration, but I believe that when the waves are big and perfect, doesn’t matter who is the surfer, the ocean alone is my inspiration.

Which artist inspire you?
There are many good artists around... but the reality is that I get really inspired by the nature, the ocean, the sunsets, the different shades of colors in the sky, etc. So I should say that, the artist that inspire me is God, the creator of everything. If we pay attention we can see Its touch in every detail, the colors, the balance of every creation. I see that God is the best within all the artists, and without a doubt, the biggest source of inspiration that we can have.
