... but immediately I noticed that while painting, it was necessary that I, who painted it, was something. And noting that this truth: I paint therefore I am, was so firm and true, that they could not break it or the most extravagant assumptions of the skeptics, I judged that I could admit it, unscrupulously as the principle of life I was looking for ...

The principle of life, of a life in which every quick or endless brushstroke brings a breath of clean and new peace as if it were always the first time and everything is flooded with freedom and fulfillment when after the effort and patience the climax of the birth of a painting.

Essentially Self-taught. Since 2015 I am a student of the Albín art academy, directed by contemporary artist Jaime Sánchez.

Oil, acrylic, water, collage, paper, canvas, wood ... from abstract figurativism and as far as art takes me

IV Painting Contest and Exhibition "ARTEMISIA" organized by the cultural center of the Moncloa-Aravaca district of Madrid. The exhibition opened on 12/18/2019 until 01/24/2020.

In February 2,019 a new exhibition was inaugurated in the showroom La Ermita del Pintxo of Madrid.
Starring the two series Dripping Woods and Water and Oil. In the first one, the drops of color shot from the brush in a colorful dance are harmonized to form autumn and winter landscapes in an essence of figurative Action Painting. In the second, water and oil, acrylic and oil melt on random cloud backgrounds in urban landscapes of mythical cities photographed by the author.

From February to August of 2,017 my last works were exhibited in the CRÁTERA showroom of Madrid.

In it I compiled my latest oils of the most varied thematic, as I like, alternating between the emotional and the surreal, to which some of the Comic Sense landscapes and still life of smaller format have joined.
