I am from La Mancha, the land where I studied at the Ciudad Real
School of Arts and Crafts. I took various courses in that city, of
artistic, advertising, linear drawing and painting among others.
Always fascinated by nature and art, I chose the medium of painting
to translate my vision of people, animals and landscapes. Portraits
continue to dominate my interest. Already as a child at thirteen
years of age he had a special inclination to make portrait drawings.
Among my favorite portrait painters are: Velásquez, Goya, Van
Dick, Palmero (Almodobar del Campo) and current: John Howard Sanden
(New York), Revello de Toro. I currently reside in Puerto de la Cruz
(Tenerife) Spain where I have a long history of 29 years making
portraits for an extensive clientele, although well known for my
portraits of children and families, my list of clients also includes
famous personalities, politicians, doctors, teachers, professionals
etc. Among them well-known clients are Lydia Bosch, Inés Sastre,
Alfonso Arús, etc. (In many cases I maintain the confidentiality of
anonymity).
For a few years I have participated as a member in the American
Association of Portrait Artists participating and promoting the art
of painting, I have also worked for various events, medicine
conventions, etc. in hotels such as El Botánico in Puerto de la Cruz
(Tenerife), taking prodigious and exciting portraits posing directly
from nature. I work on portraiture as a full-time professional but
trying to maintain a standard and level of excellence and
authenticity in the work I do.
