I was born and live in Madrid. I studied Biology at the Complutense University in Madrid. I have been studying psychology (are unfinished) and in 2007 I started philosophy with the UNED (the Spanish Open University). I have also studied audio-visual techniques such as editing, video postproduction and sound treatment. In 2006, I studied something film direction in the workshop and photography with Chema Madoz and Ehiko Hosoe. The reason for doing all of this is so that I will be able to use a wider range of techniques in my exhibitions.
When I finished my degree, I started working for various architects’ offices where I was involved in the town planning projects. At the same time I studied sections of built architecture that would later have a place in my work. These fragments try to be what summarizes the whole and once taken out of their context, they become almost abstract.
Some have been selected for different competitions (the Professional Association of Civil Engineers -Madrid, the Camuñas award for architecture and urban landscapes, etc.).
I was self-taught in painting and and devote myself to in a professional manner. At first, the photography, was only a working tool. It was not until 2002 when it acquired a significant importance. Initially, I was only interested in the portrait, and later in the series of photographs ("human landscape", "Vive la Difference", "S | Culture ...). Since 2004, I expose photography and painting together. This makes the expression parameters are indistinguishable from paintings and photography. Since 2007, I work almost exclusively with photography.
I am currently working on the preparation of various works of photographic and pictorial series:
·Project that includes photography, painting and video pieces with the title "from the concept of the individual to the collective idea."
·Project that explores the perception of space and time in Parkinson's patients with the title "on / off."
I am also organizing lectures in philosophy at my private office, and assisting in the audiobook edition of these lectures
