I'm a Madrid-based artist. I've been painting since I could hold a pencil. Of course, holding a pencil like a two-year-old, not very well... But I didn't get much better at it as I grew up. To this day I still have a "weird" pencil grip. I use more fingers than usual. I don't know, at school they always saw it as a mystical detail of an artist mind, and I wasn't going to be the one to deny the magic of such a myth. Today, my work has been sold to a multitude of clients and collectors who appreciate it, both in Spain, where I live, and in many foreign countries in Europe and the rest of the world.
I work mainly with oils and my paintings are always between figuration and abstraction. Aesthetics, through harmony in composition and color, and an emotional narrative, are very important in my works. I try to capture an instant of reality that highlights the relativity of the gaze, so that the inner cosmos of the subjects and objects represented emerge from a place that is not visible in the objective world.
