Citizen Brooklyn: How did you begin exploring the world of art and photography?

My eyes always loved art and my hands loved to do something in that way, so I made artwork as often as I could.

CBK: What made you want to do the “Skitchen” series? Are you a skater?

I knew that something happened when I turned back and left my kitchen, so I decided to see what’s going on… And I played a lot of Tony Hawk when I was young.

CBK: What is your thought process behind each fruit or vegetable’s secret sporting life scene?

I just try to capture the moment when veggies don’t know that I see them doing some amazing grind. Got it!

CBK: How long does it take to create just one of the images in the series?

Fruits and vegetables are very discreet, so it can take a long time…
