 Curriculum

He showed his interest in art when he was a child. He presented his first individual exhibition when he was eighteen and from that moment onwards, he began to participate in the plastic world.
After studying Interior Design at Maestro Mateo School in Compostela, he entered the decoration world, making mural paintings and works for space settings all around Spain and Portugal.
He taught Drawing at a Jeweller’s School in Vigo for several years.
In 2003 he started his craft-creative activity, dealing with painting and decorative coating and getting the artisan card.
Together with other tree artisans, he carried out an educative project called “Artespida” in 2005. The project covers ceramics, leatherwork, silverware and painting areas. The project consists mainly of didactic exhibitions and workshops for school groups.
At the moment, he is teaching Drawing and Painting at several schools and craft workshops in Vigo and goes on making mural paintings and exhibitions.
