Having started developing my first own drawings as a teenager, I resolved to follow my passion about art by receiving a formal and continued education in painting and art conservation.

I got my Degree in Art (painting) Restoration in 1999 in Pontevedra (Spain), and immediately afterwards I started working in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, in Madrid, Spain. Amongst others, I took part in the restoration of works by Spanish Masters Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. Although nerve-wrecking, the excellent results gave me the confidence to keep on pursuing my dreams.

After moving to Barcelona, I got a Degree as Senior Technician in Plastic Arts Illustration at the Illa Art School, which served as a starting point to develop a career as a professional illustrator. In the meantime, I worked as a portrait painter for different private collectors and governmental agencies.

So far, I have taken part in the development of several children text books. I have also collaborated with different eminent illustrators as coloring technician and also with several studios. Last year I had my first illustrated album edited (you can check a few pics in my web site. It’s awesome!).

I enjoy working with both digital and traditional techniques, always trying to show my sensitive side. My style has been described as precise and delicate. Also, I always deliver in time. Always.
