This is the latest series of paintings I made based on Friboy’s drawings. They are all animals, which are my favourites of all his drawings. I love his minimalist lines and graphic design, they remind me of Keith Haring’s style and they allow me to work with details without overdoing it.

He never reacted like this when I showed him photos of me as a child, this gorilla made me that little girl in his eyes.
