We had the good fortune of connecting with Damián Comas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Damián, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
When I was five years old I began to draw, it was an act that fascinated me from the beginning and by doing it constantly I was creating a critical eye and I got results. That’s what people call talent, but I don’t believe in talent, I only believe in the constant search of human beings, also called creativity. But in those drawings, I was discovering stories, characters, cities, and spaces, so inspiring that I always thought I would be a painter when I grew up. From studying Visual Arts, I became a marble sculptor, then a writer, and then a filmmaker. What I do most nowadays are cinema and literature, but the funny thing is that I still begin with a drawing to arrive at many ideas and concepts.
