With art we  can bring to people and show them the potencial that they have and that it is not something only about sthetics and that also it is how can we resolved our problems,  maybe with an art attack. And also, the material world, not the one that is going into the mall and make shoppings, but the real material world, so what inspire me in a  really big way is made the world a mor creative place.

Q: What is the message that you want to give to your students? <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; line-height: normal; white-space: nowrap;">A: In a big way, I guess that you are able to find solutions to big problems thought the art. And also that you can work with your hands every time.
