Professional Background Development of a vast experience as professional illustrator working for different local and international advertising agencies.

The works done in the field of graphic arts in publishing houses (for books and magazines) and brochures for companies are borne out by well-known publications, for instance he was art chief in the magazine "Aire y Sol" 1985/87

   
Current Activity Running my own atelier Fondo y Figura, that is featured by being a free atelier oriented towards the development of the creating process without disregarding the learning process itself, without pressures but aiming at the foundations of drawing and the basic concepts of easel painting.
