I was born in Spain in 1980 and have lived here most of the time except for five years I spent in New York in my mid twenties; It was then that I started painting following a friend’s insight. At the beginning I was an outsider or naif artist. This changed when I applied for a painting workshop with Antonio López; being around him and other painters in workshops over the years, helped me to become more aware and paint more truthfully to the way I see.
The trigger for my paintings are introspective sensations and thoughts which appear suddenly or over time. I think about them until I figure out how to make them visual; sometimes this means taking photographs, which will be the reference to make the final painting using a projector and grids. Other times I paint from life assembling things or asking people to pose on a scene. As I learn more about the technique I am careful to keep that fluky initial impulse that drove me to paint from nothing.
I have lately come to see my work as an ongoing memoir, and after some analysis, I can see that all my paintings spring from challenging emotions and the efforts to soothe them.

This site includes a selection of my artworks since 2012; mostly medium or large oil on canvas paintings. If they are available, a link underneath each picture will take you to the selling platform. It is possible to buy the paintings as art prints and I take commissions as well.
