BIOGRAFÍA
(ESP)
Crecí en el taller de mi padre, profesor de dibujo y artista de paisajes al óleo con espátula. Su amor por los cómics me motivó a cursar Bellas Artes (Universidad de La Laguna, Tenerife 91-95; Erasmus Amberes/Bélgica 95-96).
Durante 20 años me he especializado en obra submarina en óleo y acuarela sobre lienzo, retratando los fondos marinos de las Islas Canarias, sus habitantes y turistas.
Actualmente continúo realizando retratos submarinos por encargo, las series anuales de pequeño formato -"Cubitos de Agua" (10 x 10 x 6 cm.) + "Esquinas de Agua" (22 x 16 x 3,5 cm.)- y actualizando el perfil artístico en el campo del cómic.
BIOGRAPHY
(ENG)
I grew up in my father's studio, a drawing teacher and landscapes artist in oil with a palette knife. His love for comics motivated me to study Fine Arts (University of La Laguna, Tenerife 91-95; Erasmus Antwerp / Belgium 95- 96).
For 20 years I have specialized in underwater work in oil and watercolor on canvas, portraying the seabed of the Canary Islands, the population and the tourism who visit us.
Currently I continue to make commissioned underwater portraits, the annual small-format series -"Water Cubes" (4" x 4" x 6") + "Water Corners" (8.6" x 6.2" x 1.4")- and updating the profile artistic in the field of comics.
