Langreo, Asturias, 1986.
When he chose to study the Bachelor of Arts, he began to have more direct contact with the world of art. He began to be interested in painting and the different possibilities offered by drawing applied in its various techniques. Determined to continue his artistic training, he entered the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Basque Country in 2004, where he specialized in chalcographic engraving and graphic technique. This helped him to understand more deeply the drawing and the possibilities of the line.
In September 2008, he traveled to Barcelona to finish his studies in Fine Arts, with the idea of improving his painting in a city that offered him new artistic and creative skills. He began to focus his style on abstract expressionism and to study the entire tradition of abstract painting that the city had to offer and that undoubtedly influenced his work.
He was selected for several exhibitions in the north of Spain that allowed him to make himself known in different galleries and art circuits. At this time, he completed a Master's Degree in Artistic Creation and began a pre-doctoral project called "The Pictorial Unconscious: Origin and Impulse in the Creative Process of Abstraction".
In recent years, he has participated in multiple collective exhibitions in different cities in Spain, Boston, London... and has also had individual exhibitions in different galleries in the country where his art has evolved more than ever to bring it closer to a geometric abstraction that expands the limits of painting to the point of almost playing with sculpture.
He currently develops his pictorial work in Madrid.
