Born in 1954 in Salamanca (Spain). I teach drawing at state secondary school. Since I was five, I draw and paint non-stop. I like using watercolour and ink with brush, pen, and pencil on paper. I also work with oil on wood panel or canvas, but I do it on and off because the slowness of its process saturates me. From time to time I work sculpture usually carving wood. From the first, the human body is the more interesting subject for me, and since 1996, with my doctoral thesis work “Face and mask”, I always work on human countenance. Recently I like work by steps, building and destroying the image and reconstructing it again. I think it’s the way to introducing the time into the piece of work, such as it happen in myself.
