+ Art, Faces & Humor on clay and canvas
Humor and Tales of Serendipity are the main ingredients I bring into your life with my paintings, drawings and sculptures. I start all of my pieces with random lines made with my eyes closed. It thrills me to find out who’s hiding behind the lines.

I find it wrong that society is instructed, largely by the media, that a human’s value depends on finance and looks. Just remember what Sandra Dee did on herself at the end of “GREASE” just to feel accepted. I was only eight at that time, we grow up with this stuff!
I’m on a mission to help redefine who and what we consider beautiful, accepted and of value. I highlight the huge nose, that cute asymmetrical smile, the beauty of a moment of average people simply being, whoever and however they may be…
One quirky drawing at a time.

+ About Atamayka
I never thought I’d be an artist. As a child, I always wanted to be a singer or a painter, either one of them, but very famous. Being my harshest critic took me – in the course of my life – to pursue more realistic goals, like being an astronaut or an astrophysicist. I guess I have a thing for stardust.
Math and physics were good on me in highschool – that is – until I took a vocational test which
destroyed all my dad’s hope in me. My subconscious me was a die hard artist. I opted for arty careers that could also pay the bills. I finished graphic design and was midway through architecture when I decided to take a short vacation to visit some friends. This short trip to Europe has lasted 17 years already. Eight of which I almost forgot I was an artist.
Looking back at these last nine years of my artistic development, serendipity – as you can see – has always been a theme in my life. There’s always a surprising way and a wonderfully moving experience.
I trust life, in every decision I make and every line I draw,
that something beautiful is waiting to be discovered.
