TPS: What does the name of the series mean?
DQ: The series is called “Sensuality Series”. The idea behind it was to portray female sensuality as a variable thing. Women can be sensual in very different states and here I tried to show three of them: Cute, Elegant and Hard.

TPS: What inspired the series?
DQ: Women. I think women are an infinite source of inspiration.

TPS: What are you currently doing in terms of client work?
DQ: I’m doing some t-shirts for a company from Thailand and setting up a few websites for some companies back in my country.

TPS: What do you want to do in the design industry?
DQ: I’d really like to work as an art director someday. But also I’d like to try out as much stuff as I can. I’m really into print these days and I’m trying to sort of leave the digital-only world. Nothing like seeing your work printed out nicely.

TPS: What other personal project have you got going on?
DQ: I’m doing several collab works with different designers from all over. Setting up a project for chilean designers, but it’s still in early stages, so can’t tell you much about that, but be on the lookout.

TPS: Who are your influences?
DQ: I’m always kinda “on the spot” with this question, ’cause the influence list for me is huge.Just to name a few, but in no case the only ones: Alberto Seveso, Mike Orduña, Pete Harrison, Nelson Balaban, Radim Malinic, etc, etc.Still, they’re in no way the only ones. the list is practically infinite. too many hot designers out there.

TPS: What Programs did you use to make these?
DQ: I used Photoshop CS2 on practically everything. Except for the fragments deattaching from the girls, which I made in Cinema4D.

TPS: Are you available for Freelance inquires?
DQ: I’m currently going to college, so intense freelance work gets pretty tricky. But still, I’m always up for new projects.
