Signature: Juanje

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Albacete in 1.974, he spent most of his childhood and adolescence in a town in Córdoba, called Cañete de las Torres, where he shows skills for drawing and painting. Throughout his life he always maintained a strong link with his mother town, Molinicos (Albacete), located in the heart of the Sierra de los Calares del Rio Mundo and that will be a source of inspiration for its majestic nature. At this time his aunt Pura de Barcelona, ​​an amateur painter, gave him a picture book of landscapes and encouraged him to paint and draw. So in a self-taught way he learned to make sketches and drawings of landscapes, with an acceptable level of quality. Drawing was one of his best entertainments, such is the fact, that he participated in various competitions with obtaining several prizes

At the age of 18 years, he began his university career in Seville and studied Industrial Engineering, in the specialty of Business Organization. Its creative facet will suppose an added value on the technical knowledge acquired as an industrial engineer and although during this stage it has no pictorial production, it does serve to design the house of his parents, in which architectural details of a certain artistic singularity can be appreciated.

His current residence in Pinto and its proximity to Madrid, facilitates the contact with the great museums and art galleries. In the year 2013 retakes its liking for the painting of the hand of the local painter of recognized prestige Ramón Córdoba Calderón. During this stage, he participates in different collective exhibitions and painting competitions, obtaining some distinctions and recognitions. For him painting is something more than a hobby and is currently the founder and promoter of the virtual gallery www.pintaryexponer.com and the Facebook page, CañeteArte.
