Career

His artistic career began in 2020, after undergoing eye surgery that allowed him to discover and explore the fascinating world of painting. Since then, he has represented his country at dozens of festivals and cultural events, consolidating a career marked by sensitivity and commitment.

He has had the opportunity to exhibit his work in a wide variety of venues: exhibition halls, museums, galleries, libraries, community centres, hospitals, schools and civic centres. His art has reached people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures, bringing artistic expression to very diverse communities.

In October 2023, he reached a significant milestone: exhibiting simultaneously in 11 different venues. Some of them were:

  • Bon Pastor Library

  • House for Older People, Bon Pastor

  • Cotxeres Casinet Civic Centre

  • “Escola del Mar” School, Badalona

  • El Refugio Hall, Badalona

  • Art Nou Gallery 277, Barcelona

  • Museum of Colonial Art in Mérida, Venezuela

  • Aries Art Gallery (Digital Exhibition)

His work is characterised by capturing the natural beauty of cultures and addressing social and emotional issues that invite reflection and a deep connection with one’s own humanity.

She is currently a member of two cultural groups: Fem Soroll and the Badalona Museum Artists’ Group.

In 2023, he was the only painter invited to participate in Jam Black Artística BCN, where he was able to connect with more than 20 artists from around the world.

It features a solo exhibition entitled ‘The Magic of Latin American Indigenous Peoples’, comprising almost 40 paintings, 15 sculptures and 15 poems inspired by indigenous cultures. This is the first time that such a comprehensive collection on this theme has been presented in Barcelona.

He has also participated in more than 30 group exhibitions in Spain, Venezuela, and Colombia. His painting ‘INEFABLE ½’ was selected for the 2023 International Digital Expo at the Aries Art Gallery, alongside more than 200 artists from 53 countries.

His poems have been published in three commemorative poetry books.

He is currently developing the ‘Fusion Session Art’ project alongside writer David Soler, an artistic proposal that seeks to bring together creators from different cultures.
