Name:<\/strong> Juan Travieso<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Which came first in your life, the science or the art?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe that they are inter-related and therefore came at the same time. My ability to see\u00a0nature and try to understand it goes hand in hand with my necessity to draw at an early age. I always wanted to\u00a0capture the world and catalogue it. Drawing seemed the right tool and skill necessary for this task. They are the\u00a0perfect match.\u00a0I was always curious as a kid on how nature worked and how we where all in a complex way related to it. My exploration on both fields will\u00a0take the rest of my life to really understand but I willing to do whatever it takes to learn as much a\u00a0possible about the fields.<\/p>\n
