ART – ESPÍRITU PLÁSTICO

Career

A self-taught artist born in Gijón (Asturias), his story with drawing began so early that it’s impossible to pinpoint the exact moment he first picked up a pencil. He has always done it his way: drawing from intuition, with hardly any references or sketches, letting his own line guide him. An unorthodox method, yes, but profoundly personal and effective. Copying, quite simply, is not his style.

In 2018, he moved to Barcelona, ​​where he studied Mural Painting at the Escola Llotja. It was there that he solidified his style and immersed himself in graffiti culture, a parallel school that provided him with invaluable lessons. The Catalan capital connected him with many other artists who, like him, are pursuing their dreams. He owes Barcelona friendships, inspiration, and the energy needed to persevere in this creative endeavor.

One of the greatest honors of his career has been to leave a lasting mark on the Besòs River.
