I learned to paint with oil, but from 1987 I went to the acrylic, which allowed me a great freedom of work: "At last I did not have to wait a lot of days to dry the red I wanted to put elsewhere." I did not change brushes, the acrylic ones are softer, or cloth, because I still use linen "Velazquez" with what I got as good results as with oil. In recent years I also work on MDF pannel which allows me small texture variations due to the support.

I am also very comfortable with Collages, which I perform in general with papers that I previously painted and cut by recomposing the resulting shapes.

For about 10 years I have also made small sculptures that I made with materials found walking through the countryside, on the beaches of my childhood, with those woods washed and polished by the sea ...

My Cuban grandmother was a painter and that helped me at home when I started to draw and paint to prepare the entrance examination at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid.

I started my preparation in Avilés with Santarúa where I made my first spots and when I finished high school I went to Madrid to continue preparing the entrance.

In Madrid I attended drawing classes first with Amadeo Roca and later with Francisco Merallo. I also attended Free Painting classes at the BBAA School in San Fernando.

I entered the School in 1977. At school I met my group of friends with whom I shared my formative years. During the school y...
