I was born in Seville in 1984. From a very young age, I felt a strong attraction to drawing, color and creation. My first steps were tied to comics, although I soon trained in classical painting and drawing. Over time I moved away from the conventions to explore other ways of connecting with people.
After a trip through South America in 2006, my interest in human beings, gazes and the energies of places intensified. It was then that I returned to painting from a freer perspective, based on emotion and color.
Years later, in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia, I took part in a charitable project sketching people from underprivileged rural areas, discovering the power of art as a tool for bringing people together. Since then, I have combined my artistic work with live drawing at events and the creation of the Menorca Caricatures project, active since 2013.
I remain in constant pursuit of new forms of expression.
