 Curriculum

He was an autodidact, although A. L. Cancio and W. Kappler influenced him. He spent his youth with another painter from Sarria, 'Rodín' (Manuel Rodríguez Díaz), sharing experiences. When he was forty-eight, he gave up his job in a bank firm to devote himself to painting from the professional point of view. He got in touch with art galleries and merchants in Madrid and Barcelona, as well as in Paris and Brussels on several occasions.

 Work & Activities

His most recent individual exhibitions were celebrated at 'Almirante' Gallery (Lugo, 1996 and 2001) and 'Marqués de Casariego' School (Tapia - Asturias, 1996). He also carried out collective exhibitions in the Association of Plastic Artists (Lugo, 1998 and 2002), the office of International Amnesty (Lugo, 1997) and the Gallery of the Administrative Building of the Xunta de Galicia in Lugo (1999).

 Other Interesting Aspects

His painting is figurative, realist, independent and personal without following any tendency.
