Look inside yourself and illustrate who you are


I was born in 1983 in Cáceres, where, being very young, I began to draw in a painter's workshop on weekends. Then I studied at the Eulogio Blasco School of Fine Arts at the same time as high school.
Maybe at this moment, I was dreaming of being a mathematician or a philosopher but finally i moved to Madrid to study Architecture at the Polytechnic University.

New York City Route / Map Illustration

In 2006, together with other fellow architects, I formed the collective pkmn architects, and for five years we ventured together in endless projects of design, reactivation of public space, self-construction and research in new ways of learning and teaching architecture in an experiential way.

 Keshitsubu Project / Ceramic Work
In 2010 I began to develop design work mainly for wineries based in the Ribera del Guadiana and I joined to the Leon 11 collective where I collaborate with other architects, designers and illustrators, immersed daily in a species of continuous creativity maze: constant debates, drawings without beginning or end, crazy videos, furniture that moves through space. 

Atlantic Coast / Scketchbook (2020-)

In recent years, my artistic work has focused on ceramics, editorial illustration, drypoint engraving, collage and drawing in ink and pencil through travel notebooks.

In the field of illustration I started illustrating in magazines and collaborating in art direction. My first illustrated album, ‘Islas de la Tierra’ (Islands of the Earth), published by Mosquito Books in 2024 has been translated into several languages and includes different painting and illustration techniques learned throughout this multidisciplinary career.

I currently combine my work as an architect/engineer and illustrator living close to nature on the west coast of Spain.
