I am an artist born and raised in Barcelona. I love creating cool stuff. I've always wanted to give some deeper meaning to why I do what I do, but honestly, I think it's simple: I love creating art because there's nothing cooler than art.

Another thing about me: I love to yap. So fair warning, here comes a bit of my story.

I wasn't one of those kids who drew all the time when they were little. If you looked at my art assignments from kindergarten through high school, you'd never imagine I'd end up doing anything remotely close to what I do now. But I was always a curious kid, and learning new things was what kept me going (still is).

I fell in love with the craft when I was a bit older. I was in maths class, and the classmate next to me was one of those artsy types, really good at it. We were both probably not paying much attention, because out of nowhere I asked him to teach me how to draw and he accepted it fairly quickly. That boring math’s class was what cause the butterfly effect that would lead my life to a completely different path from what I thought I would end up doing. I always had a pull toward the visual arts, and drawing became my gateway to exploring other things until I found my fit.

While I was trying to improve my drawing skills, I started learning video-editing, graphic design, post-production with after effects, graffiti, making comics… I even tried to create my own clothing brand when I was fifteen. I didn’t now at that time, because I was just flowing with what seemed to interest me, but I was building little by little who I am today.

I was reaching that point as a teen where you have to start choosing your career path and I was still a bit unsure: graphic design and audiovisuals where my first choice’s (because I wasn’t sure about a fine arts career), and I quite enjoyed designing things. I was also watching a lot of movies, getting interested on how they are made. But then one day, this piece of media made a change in my life and gave me a clear path to follow. This might be a bit of a cliché, as I am sure many people from my generation suffered the same symptomps, but once I saw “Spider-man, into the spiderverse” everything clicked.

My eyes could not believe how cool that was, and from there I started investigating… What do you mean there are people designing all of that stuff?? They are drawing, painting, making graffiti, making comics, videoediting and doing graphic design all at once?? They are also designing clothes for the characters?? And you can get paid for doing that??

Yeah, I discovered Visual development and concept art just like that, isn’t it one of the coolest jobs ever?? Since then, I made my mind and started working every freaking day to be able to convert my passions into a living.

This is how I got to be where I am right now. There is a lot to learn still, but isn’t that the best part??
