In mid-March 2016, the first drawings appeared, inspired essentially by the female figure. The goal was just to decorate our house. We took advantage of the raw material that social networks offer us to look for stories, or better, our interpretation of all those images. We looked for the girl free spiritwho drives her bread in shape in search of the best beach for surfing; of the woman who stands out on her red wasp in the chaos of traffic, of any European city. With the illustration we wanted to suggest the starting point for someone's story, who becomes the protagonist when he observes it.
The best thing about all these years was that we were shaped by the opinion of the people who often contact us, and they let us know true stories that appear in an email, in a photograph and end in a gift, in a tribute, on the cover of a book, in a shirt, in a pair of socks, in a bottle of wine or in a glass. Limiting our illustrations to what inspires us would be to belittle the word shared.
