“When I draw,<br />
I feel good and<br />
relaxed, and I<br />
disconnect from<br />
many th<strong>in</strong>gs”, says<br />
Erick Centeno<br />
- Exclusive to <strong>Magzoid</strong><br />
Erick Centeno Ohlitas is a<br />
Peruvian artist who resides<br />
<strong>in</strong> Genoa, Italy. Art has<br />
always been close to him<br />
s<strong>in</strong>ce his fa<strong>the</strong>r was an<br />
avid pa<strong>in</strong>ter and taught him how to<br />
produce <strong>the</strong>m. He began his artistic<br />
journey by mak<strong>in</strong>g realistic draw<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
with pencils and <strong>the</strong>n got attracted<br />
by <strong>the</strong> scribble technique.<br />
When Erick moved from Peru to<br />
Italy <strong>in</strong> 1999, everyth<strong>in</strong>g changed<br />
for him. His focus completely fell on<br />
academics and art took a back seat<br />
until he realized how much he was<br />
miss<strong>in</strong>g out on and retrieved <strong>the</strong> first<br />
sketches he drew with his fa<strong>the</strong>r. He<br />
realized that produc<strong>in</strong>g art helped<br />
him feel better and now art is part of<br />
his daily life.<br />
Becom<strong>in</strong>g more aware of his<br />
surround<strong>in</strong>gs, he is constantly struck<br />
by new ideas. For <strong>in</strong>stance, when he<br />
walks down <strong>the</strong> street or watches a<br />
movie, he observes keenly how he<br />
can replicate it <strong>in</strong>to his art giv<strong>in</strong>g it his<br />
personal touch.<br />
“When I draw, I feel good and<br />
relaxed, and I disconnect from many<br />
th<strong>in</strong>gs. At first, I always have an idea<br />
runn<strong>in</strong>g through my head, not just<br />
about <strong>the</strong> subject to be drawn, but<br />
also about how I should do it and<br />
what tools to use; all of this creates<br />
an expectation, and I'm not quiet until<br />
I start to make <strong>the</strong> first l<strong>in</strong>es on paper;<br />
many times, I don't like <strong>the</strong> artwork,<br />
but I learn to f<strong>in</strong>ish it anyway” says<br />
Erick.<br />
Erick's journey is still long, but he<br />
is on <strong>the</strong> right track. He particularly<br />
likes portraits with strong contrast<br />
and sharp expressions, as well as<br />
mov<strong>in</strong>g scenes such as dancers and<br />
sports. Many excellent artists have<br />
honed <strong>the</strong>ir abilities <strong>in</strong> this sector, and<br />
he has learned to appreciate various<br />
sorts of art as well as learn about<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r artists that are similar to him.<br />
He is still improv<strong>in</strong>g and develop<strong>in</strong>g<br />
his technique by seek<strong>in</strong>g out new<br />
sources of <strong>in</strong>spiration, hon<strong>in</strong>g his<br />
approach via practice, and explor<strong>in</strong>g<br />
new k<strong>in</strong>ds of art.<br />
