All details of the terms and conditions of the client must be discussed beforehand. We will discuss your project and go over any ideas, references and requirements you may have for the art. 2- Concept I will send you a sample sketch for your approval. I will happily provide 2 revisions at this stage free of extra charge when working on a fixed price project. Once you are happy with the sketch and concept you will release the appropriate milestone payment and then I will continue working on the art. This will continue as we cover each milestone for each stage of the art completed. 3- The Final Artwork I will send you a watermarked version of the final art, you release the final milestone and I will send you a high quality version of the art. -Copyright Usage- Unless otherwise stated, by agreeing to initiate a project with the freelancer the client agrees to the terms below.

From the very early age Hugo tends to create using different kinds of materials, and throughout academic career he specializes and gets inside the Art world more and more. Works are almost like an addiction that absorbs all his energy, twenty-four hours per day. He never sees himself in another area. He merges the personal fulfillment, with the professional achievement and there isn’t difference. He feels very comfortable during the intensive creative process. His work and concepts have been more objective and consistent only because he follows the natural course and keeps on connected with the life that surrounds him and also he follows the intuitive decisions. Hugo works with reusable materials, in painting and illustration he almost always uses the cardboard like a support, because it has a unique plasticity and oil pastels and acrylics on it create something different and understandable
