Artist L Filipe dos Santos (also known as Corcoise) has an interesting series of sketches called See Saw. His somewhat primitive art is born from the multi-colored blots left by gouache, which later turn into bizarre story drawings.
L Filipe dos Santos was born in the summer of 1978 in Portugal. For a long time not knowing what he wants to do in life and where to realize his talent, he decided to try himself in drawing. And from the moment he turned 16, he has been creating interesting and funny stories in sketches.
There is nothing complicated about the creative process of L Filipe dos Santos. It all starts with a simple blob on a blank sheet of paper, then the sheet is folded in half and the ink leaves the same prints on equal halves of the paper. This is the basis for the future drawing. Probably, the author never knows in advance what he will draw. Ideas are suggested to him by more colorful spots left on the sheet. Something reminds him of a bird, something of a man, somewhere he could make out two lovers, and somewhere two children playing with animals. These drawings are also unusual in that they have an inherent plot. Quite unusual creativity, and it is quite interesting to observe the scope of the author's imagination.

It is unfortunate that talented artists, illustrators and other representatives of the art world are often so modest and reserved.
