Extremely graphic scenario
Artist Bernardo Henning tells us about his first reaction, when he received Hafiz’ drawing. “It was a good reaction because it was nothing like I expected, it was deeper than I imagined and an extremely graphic scenario that represents a very specific situation in Hafiz’ daily life.”
A freedom I’ve lost
How did Bernardo Henning experience collaborating with Hafiz? “I’m a father of 2 and I’m always “collaborating” with some of their illustrations, not in a professional way but I like to work with their drawings because they have a freedom I’ve lost.”
Don’t lose your freedom
Is there anything he wants to say to Hafiz? “I want to say, keep drawing all you can, don’t lose your freedom, no one can take that away from you.”
