I attended UPV for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage in my hometown and spent my last year of studies at Accademia di Belle Arti of Naples. After working at the IVAM and then Christie’s Madrid I decided coming back home as a full-time artist. 

My first big experience was with an exhibition in April 2017 in Milan at Italian celebrity Riccardo Pozzoli. This gave me a huge impulse to decide to open my studio and trust my work. During that year, I had some shows in small galleries or spaces in Madrid and Valencia and started selling my work internationally.

A year and a half later, F1 Authentic’s contacted me to show my  F1 paintings at the Paddock Club around the world during the F1 season.

At the same time, I started working with Wanrooij Gallery (Amsterdam), showing my other series of work through the gallery. This gave me the opportunity to go to my first international art fairs in Europe, such as the Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam, London or Brussels.  

At the end of 2020, I also started working with Makovsky Gallery, which is Stockholm art gallery focused on limited edition prints. Due to COVID, F1 Paddock closed and I decided to take a different path in my career and work, so I stopped working on these pieces. I also decided to stop working with Wanrooij Gallery as we weren’t in the same mood.  

2020 was my best year working on new pieces and selling nearly all of my work out of Spain through social media. I also did a small collaboration with ArtLife in Miami.

In 2021, I started working with two galleries: Art Works Singapore, which is an art gallery with years of experience based in Singapore and soon in Bali, and Hampton Gallery from Montreal, which is a gallery two years old.
