Bachelor degree of Fine Arts in the branches of sculpture and painting from the University of Granada, he conceives art as the ability to project an idea through an interdisciplinary connection. The more plastic resources are involved in the implementation of the idea, the greater the capacity for success and approximation to it.

In his beginnings, he participates in multiple exhibitions and obtains diverse scholarships and awards and collaborates in magazines and newspapers of university and provincial scope; he also illustrates and designs posters.

A scholarship to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Naples contributes to broaden his training in disciplines such as sculpture, photography, engraving and scenography, with internationally renowned artists such as Mimmo Iodice, Bruno Starita and Giovanni Girosi.

The latter premieres at the V Festival of Hispanic theater "Don Quixote" in Paris and then in the Theater Festival "Madrid South" and in countries of Europe, Africa and in the United States.
