About me
I am the son of Spanish parents,I born in Mexico City, currently living in a small town on the coast of Baja California Sur, called Todos Santos and characterized as the residence of painters, sculptors, musicians, poets and writers from many different countries around the world. My paintings are the beginning of a magical reality that always considers dreams and fantasies. My paintings are the journey and I am the brush of something beautiful that speaks to me when I paint. My friends and clients consider me as inspirational painter.

Technique
I paint with acrylic paint must of my paintings. I like to use many paint in each brushstroke, love primary colors and I use layers that give depth and let you see the textures in the background. At the end I give an aging technique. I like when I see people who stop and feel drawn to observe and discover the details and meaning of my works.
