A sea of umbrellas in the rain on a dark and sad day. The jets of water from fountains hidden by the crowd provide the only highlight of the scene. It is a remembrance of the March 11 manifestation after the 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid, as it passed through the Plaza de Colón.

I am a painter with a late vocation and autonomous training. My work could be described as an attempt to achieve something that photography (my previous artistic vocation) could hardly provide. A photographer discovers something that is happening and shoots... You have to be very good at this to create a good photo... but the thing has to happen. A painting of mine is an attempt to create an image, a story that I would like to have captured but unfortunately it did not happen, or at least I was not there at the time... That is, I invent a story that I would have liked to find and photograph. . The resources of that story (its setting, its protagonists, the type of light...) are usually real, taken from photographs, but their selection, mix, and arrangement is what provides the value of the work thus created. And from this point of view my work is easily describable: Lonely people (although accompanied), stillness (although with movement), prominence of ambient light (or its lack) and in general a painting that is not happy, although it is not either sad. Melancholy is perhaps the word that best describes what these paintings exude. If this work had to be classified in one of the usual figurative pictorial styles, we would have to talk a little (but only a little) about magical realism, metaphysical painting, surrealism. It's almost easier to say what it's not: it's not realistic painting. Many people point out to me the similarity of the "mood" of my paintings with that of the the work of Master Hopper... what more would I want... I was born in Madrid in 1956. I am married and I have two kids. I live in Las Rozas in Madrid. :
