Biography

I am an artist and professor who lives and works in Spain.
I teach Contemporary Art at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of La Laguna, in Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain). I complement my teaching practice with works in painting, sculpture and installation media.

I began to study Fine Arts and Art History at the end of the sixties, in Barcelona.

As a result of the academic policy that ignored the already existing concepts of contemporary art that by then where taking place in Barcelona’s galleries, I decided to leave my art studies to develop my own artistic style. After the authoritarian era, the university changed its view towards Contemporary Art so then I returned to my art studies.

I received my M.F.A in visual arts of the University of Barcelona, and six years later I received the post of Ph.D., at the University where I currently teach. I have presented several exhibitions in painting and sculpture media since 1978, and also interventions in public sculpture
