I am a multidisciplinary artist, drawing, watercolor, oil, pastel, engraving, collage although my most popular technique is watercolor and engraving, I consider that my work could be classified in a realistic figurative , although some works may seem abstractions, such as the series of reflections of Venice, The Water is the starting point to create a work where everything seems left to chance, but on the contrary, nothing is left to chance. abandoned to formal free will, everything is thought, linked and constructed from a most recalcitrant figurative point of view.

My work is conceived by themes, such as the series of charcoal drawings about the Syrian war, large format, 200x150cm. 

Another series is the series of mountains over eight thousand meters, Himalayas, Caracorum ...etc...

I also have to highlight the series of print folders. Venice Carnival, Chauen in Morocco. Bilbao, Vitoria, Palma de Mallorca, San Sebastián, Venice, etc...

The series of rural and urban landscapes, of the same cities.
