I was born in Cée (Galicia, Spain) in 1970,
where I
spent my childhood and adolescent years until 1988 when I left for the UK. From
1988 I lived in the UK (London and Chesire) until 2001, year in which I moved to
The Netherlands (Noord Holland). In 2013 I returned to the UK (Surrey) which is
where I currently reside.
The best definition I was ever given of myself
was from my good friend Aziz who once said to me "You are what makes this
moment possible", and I fully agreed with that view.
My contribution in the creation of Artworks do
not differ from how I approach social relations or any other type of
interaction. Sometimes, instinctively, spontaneously, in collaboration with
my surroundings, often responding to how they behave in an impulsive,
emotional or unconscious way, but sometimes with premeditation and intention
to manipulate in order to serve my own needs and expectations.
The process of creating leads me often to
disappear as an idea where time ceases to exist and conflicts completely
vanish, it is then, when I truly feel I have become "one" with the
"moment". I realize that the works I help creating are the
results of my collaboration with many other factors which are completely out
of my control and my own contribution does not always follow a reasoned or
logical process of thought.
While in the past I aimed at becoming a
different artist by attempting to do something that I would consider truly
unique, original, different from anything that had been done before, I now
consider "Originality" to be the sincere expression of oneself, and that is
what I aim at Today, with my Art and Life.
My works have been exhibited in several
cities and locations since 1993, amongst them, London (Bolivar Hall, Canning
House, John Jones Gallery, IMO Arts Society...), Manchester (Portico Gallery,
Instituto Cervantes, Manchester Airport...), Macclesfield (West Park Museum),
Stockport (Howard Francis Gallery), Amsterdam (Art Hotel, Schichol Airport...),
Hoofddorp where I had my own Studio-Gallery space (2011-2013), Madrid (Circulo
de Bellas Artes), my home town, Cée, etc.
