Biography
Born in Santander, Spain. La Vidriera Art School of Cantabria. For me art is the expression of colour through minimalist compositions, where the principal element is colour, the main principal in my work, I try to do "more with less". My work is an expression of feelings and sensations.
Sometime with the paper and acrylic, this combination gives a special texture and aspect that I am seeking for in these compositions. I try layering acrylic to a final colour that then predominates in the composition. Other times with acrylic on canvas, is the interest for the expansion of the hard-edge surface, like characteristic of my minimal art. Flirting with the metaphor of an optical game that suggests places, urban areas or light bright-colored landscapes, thus overcoming the tautology of the painting as a representation of himself
