He was born on 28th June, 1972, in Madrid but lives in Toledo now. During his childhood he developed a special interest in drawing, colour and photography, and soon started to submit his own creations to poster and bill contests for local fairs and festivities. In 1990, he decided to pursue Architecture studies at Madrid University, where he remained for four years, and where he distinguished himself for his outstanding love of the analysis of shapes and for his original interpretation of reality. It was then that he decided to venture into the world of oil painting.
