Biography

Born in Ciudad Real (Castilla-La Mancha/Spain). Their family environment and the multidisciplinary influence of their professional activity; in sport, music, engineering, inventions and art, in Castilla-La Mancha and Madrid, he was decisive for the artistic creation, of a very personal and different style, called Rivismo, based on the application of Experiencial Brushstrokes. During the last sixteen years, his research has managed to reinforce the Concepts and Philosophy that predominate in Rivismo and that have given prominence to material elements to which he has assigned aspects, functions and values of people.
As a test for art lovers, the most direct method of exhibition of his works has been used, through exhibitions. Solo and group exhibitions have been held in several countries; Spain, China, South Korea, Italy, united states, among others. In addition, there are works in the collection of Museums of Spain, Denmark and South Korea. The influence of the Internet; websites, blogs and social networks have contributed very quickly to publicize this artistic proposal. In response to all this dissemination of his work, he has received good news by being recognized by inviting him to international exhibitions, interviews, inclusion in books and art magazines, and giving him multiple international awards.

Artist Statement

My work has a marked personal seal of identity that I apply in a free way and without limitations. I use my creativity to be different and look for new artistic proposals that surprise and excite. This I do through Rivismo.
My good imagination has been and is fundamental to develop creative, novel works that interact positively with the observer's eyes. My training, among others, as a Project and Organization Engineer, makes me work in an orderly, methodical way, studying the best alternatives, supervising good execution, introducing scientific topics, balancing the composition and making the painting a walkable space for the viewer. As a result, images are produced with elaborate precision work, with impressive density and depth that visually captivate. For this reason, I prefer to work in large format. For me, the artist's work is the embodiment of his inner self in a tangible form.
Therefore, my works are not intended to be mere decorative objects, but a skillful source of provocation that encourages the viewer to participate, and at the same time, to become a creative artist during the course of his journey around the stage and for the duration of the images recorded on his retina.
