I was born and brought up in Madrid where I now live and work, having lived during part of the '80s in London. It was during this time that I saw an exhibition of Raoul Dufy´s work which really inspired me, and at 26 I did an about change in my working career to go into the creative world - initially wanting to be a textile designer.
In the last 25+ years I have had more than twenty solo shows and participated in many more group shows in Spain, Europe, Bermuda and Japan. Although painting is my main activity, I have carried out many commercial and private design commissions ... from painting murals, illustrations for advertising and promotions, designing logos, leaflets, furniture, apparel, interior design projects including a small hotel, Casa de Santiago in Albarracín, outside Madrid. Clients have included the Ritz Hotel, Inter-Continental Hotel, Häagen Dazs, International Book Club, Diageo, Glenfiddich Whisky, Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
Life is what inspires me: Movement and color, travelling as much as I can, and in the mind ... I like to weave it all together, with paint, paper, pencils, fabric, wire, plastics ... to construct, create, build both as a two dimensional piece or a sculpture or installation. I love working through it, the ups and downs, the surprises, the journey.
I have been very fortunate to be invited on two art residencies: Masterworks Foundation, Bermuda in 1998, and Glenfiddich Program in 2006, both for three months, including exhibitions and workshops.
In 2011 I won the T3 Gestion Painting Prize in Mallorca. Other prizes include J. Walter Thompson Prize in Madrid, and work selected in various competitions: XVI Certamen de Dibujo Gregorio Prieto, Spain (2006),
“Arte Gráfico para Jovenes Creadores”, Calcografía Nacional, Madrid (1998 and 2001), Amigos de la Gran Vía, Madrid (1998), Recoletos Gallery (1997), Premio Penagos (1995).
I have work in the BBC-PCF Foundation, UK, Robert Fleming Spain, Colección Biblioteca Nacional, and in private collections in Spain and abroad.
