Born in Madrid on November 18, 1965. The son of an architect and the grandson of a painter, he was raised in a distinctly artistic environment. From his early school years at Colegio Estudio in Madrid, he showed a strong inclination for drawing, and in 1983 he entered the School of Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). After graduating in 1988, he devoted himself exclusively to painting. In 1995, he and his family moved to a house-studio in Arganda del Rey (Madrid), where he currently lives and works.

Closely associated with Madrid’s realist tradition, the artist has received numerous awards and distinctions over the years. Among the most notable are the Pedro Bueno Painting Award, granted by the City Council of Villa del Río (Córdoba) in 1992; the Medal of Honor at the 4th Painting Prize for Architecture and Urban Landscape, awarded by the Antonio Camuñas Foundation (Madrid, 1999); and the Pilar Banús Foundation Prize, presented as part of the 11th National Printmaking Awards of the Spanish Contemporary Printmaking Museum-Foundation in Marbella (2003).

As the recipient of the Penagos Drawing Prize from the Mapfre Foundation in 1997, he met gallerist Leandro Navarro, a member of the jury, marking the beginning of a long-standing collaboration. In 1999 and 2001, he took part in the group exhibitions Rosas para el 2000 and Nocturnos at Galería Leandro Navarro, where he later held solo exhibitions in 2008 and 2017.
