Can you take us through the timeline on how you became an artist?

Well, with time, I realised it was my emotions and my low moments that led me here. I had a breakup with my first bf and I felt like I needed to study arts. During my degree I was making a lot of performance and sex related photography. When I broke up with my second boyfriend, I moved to Madrid. There I started drawing him because I was full of rage and sadness, but I was also horny and excited for all the new relationships I was making and the amazing sex I was having. Some friends liked what I was doing and thought I should continue drawing men. That’s how I started drawing a register of my lovers.

Where do you find ideas for your work?

I get inspired by many things. They are all related to my anomic state. I can draw for one week non-stop and stop drawing for a month if I don’t feel empowered. My art is emotional, not technical at all. My own life is translated into my drawings, also my previous experiences take part in my work sometimes along with the ones I hope one day will happen. I take also a lot inspiration from random writings I find in books in markets. Pictures I took and keep on taking. Stories my friends tell me about their hookups…

Your characters and subjects are often kinky. Do you find the ideas for the pictures from your life?

Are they? I just feel they are a reflection of how I am and what I like. I have a particular relationship with my sexuality that I like to express through my pictures. If that makes me or my art kinky then I’m okay with it, but there is also a very sentimental part in it, because we are all talking about desire in the end, both required and unrequited.

Aside from drawing, what’s your favorite art medium?

I think that would be photography. For me it’s a similar process, but faster and more accurate to reality. It depends on what you have in front of you rather than what is inside you. I am working on a publication of cocks and plants, two of my favourite things and the ones I usually take pictures of. So stay tuned because it’s going to be something really beautiful and sexy. I also make a lot of music but I have not published anything yet, and I just started DJing…but for now I would say photography, for sure.

You often model for photographers, what do you enjoy about modeling the most?

I love to see how the body changes through time. That’s why I enjoy fitness and pole dancing. There is something awesome about constructing your own shape how you want it, modelling your body at your own request and likes…being portrayed by someone and being able to see how time has passed and how bodies transform is an incredible sensation. Also, every photographer has their own perspective of you so it’s very interesting to see all those different approaches to the body you see everyday.

Your favorite word is…?

“Tornado” is a word I really like. It’s twister in Spanish. In front of my bed I have it written in green. “Carne” also, which means meat. I like words that with strong phonemes. And listen to this: “rabo de toro.” It means “bull’s tail,” a delicious Spanish food, and a beautiful expression, quite sexual I would say btw, use it carefully.

Spit or swallow?

If there is love, there is swallowing. That’s my life motto.

Which one is your favorite tattoo on you and why?

I had a cowboy kid tattooed on my left arm some years ago, and I’m quite in love with this drawing. I found it in an exhibition that had a library with references. I searched for the word Cachorro and this drawing appeared. I thought of stealing it, but a friend of mine wouldn’t let me, so instead of that, I tattooed it. He has a really nice hat, curly hair, a moustache and a big bow on his neck.

What is Cachorro’s go-to Saturday night film?

Any smart comedy with female leading characters. Like “The first wives club,” a film I love since I was a child. No intense movies during the weekend, please.

What are your memories of your first night with a guy?

I was camping in summer near the coast when I as a teenager. There was a big swimming pool and a friend and I used to stay out until late so that we could swim at night even if it was prohibited. That night when we were done swimming, it was so cold we decided to go to the collective showers before going to sleep. We were both naked in the same space and we both got really hard, which was kind of weird because at that time neither one of us were gay (I mean, officially). We started feeling each other’s cocks. Things got heated very fast and we spent the night together. Those Summer nights….!

What makes you feel alive?

Self confidence. A breathtaking blowjob. Trust. Techno music. French fries. Wearing 20cm platforms. A new box of wax crayons. Driving my car fast. And desire. DESIRE!

Do you have a nickname for your trouser-snake?

I do, but it’s so embarrassing I would die right here if I told you.
