Biography

Graduated in Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, I completed my training at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin (Italy).

My work is closely related to my personal experience and, through my particular language and my vision of the world, I not only try to excite with powerful colors and dynamic forms, but I also want to invite reflection, with subtle metaphors.

I like to get lost in my own imagination, to show myself as I am.

I am interested in the power that art has when it is truly free, its ability to be attractive and useful at any time, like a master key that opens just the door we need, even if the environment changes and the context is different.

In 2015 he won the National Painting Prize of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos, with the work El sueño de Dover, and the First Prize, with El estilo en la emergencia, in the Salón de Otoño del Ateneo Mercantil de Valencia, among other awards.

I have had exhibitions in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Castellón, Santander,

Bari, Turin, Zurich and Paris. And I have participated in numerous international fairs such as Estampa, Marte or Arte Santander.

My work is part of collections such as the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos (Valencia), MACVAC Museum of Contemporary Art V. Aguilera Cerní in Vilafamés (Castellón), Museum of Footwear (Elda, Alicante), Gaetano Morguese Foundation (Bari, Italy). Aguilera Cerní in Vilafamés (Castellón), Museo del Calzado (Elda, Alicante), Gaetano Morguese Foundation (Bari, Italy), Balaguer Gonel Foundation (Castellón), Ateneo Mercantil (Valencia) and numerous national and international private collections.

I currently live and work in Castellón from where I develop new projects.
