ART – LA DERIVA

Career

I was born in 1979 in Madrid and grew up in Móstoles, a town to the south of it.

In the 1990s, graffiti burst onto the scene in my city. It was then that I became interested in everything to do with street art, and I began getting my hands dirty at just 13. In those years, I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by great graffiti writers.

All of this would set the direction I wanted to take my life.

My work has evolved through experimenting with all possible creative processes such as graffiti, urban art, tattooing, illustration, graphic design, painting, art installation, advertising, the performing arts, and set design.

I am currently working on my next solo show: a large-scale painting exhibition.
