CURRICULUM VITAE

· Born in Zamora, Spain 1965.
· Lives and Works in Valencia, Spain.
For more than two decades, I’ve been developing a work cross-disciplinary that alternates photography, painting, sculpture and digital processes. The questioning of the limits of pictorial medium, using sculptural elements and the rupture of the traditional frame of Painting, is a constant in my work. And it is from the beginning of the new century when you can observe a whole series of new methodologies and creative processes that lead to paintings sometimes sinuous and synesthetic, other geometric and at the same time organic. In its origin we find the articulation of the line and the plane playing with the concepts of deconstruction, symbiosis, the reference to the most elementary biological processes, overlapping color fields or the folding of the surface.

EDUCATION AND TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca in 1989. Doctor of Fine Arts from the University of Vigo in 1998. Research fellow of the Ministry of Education and Science (Program of training of teaching and research staff) from 1992 to 1996, doing through this same program, research stays at the Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, for three consecutive years.
