Biography: |
I started painting as a child, learning how to use brushes from my father. At the age of 15, I won my first prize for painting at the XXII Getafe art exhibition.
In my university stage I work as a cartoonist of graphic jokes for some publications at a local and national level. In 1983 I graduated in Veterinary Medicine, a profession to which I have dedicated 35 years, during which I barely had time for art. Between 2004 and 2007, I completed my artistic training at the "Taller del Prado" center in Madrid, where I learned new techniques and styles. In 2019 I decided to leave the clinical activity and from now on I dedicate myself exclusively to painting.
