Born in Madrid in 1948, he pursued studies in Architecture and Fine Arts in Madrid and Valencia. With dual residency in Paris and Soller (Mallorca), his artistic journey has been marked by a shift from automatism to geometric abstraction, heavily influenced by renowned artists from Cuenca – Gerardo Rueda and Gustavo Torner.
In the 1980s, his abstract style fractured into two distinct paths, veering between a bold simplification of form and an intense commitment to realism. Driven by a deep passion for the rich history of painting, he organizes his works into thematic series that pay homage to both modern masters like Delacroix and Cézanne, as well as classical traditions represented by the likes of Poussin. He also reinterprets the principles of cubism in his depictions of still lifes and Mallorcan landscapes.
In recent years, his work has undergone a significant transformation, shedding formal constraints and embracing a more muted palette. Rigorous and imaginative, his compositions embody a balance of mystery and dynamism, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into their enigmatic complexities.
