A firefighter by profession, he shares his free time between his passion for photography and his devotion to his family. He was beginning to take his first steps when he felt attracted to the plastic arts and nature. In the company of his inseparable bicycle, he spent a good part of his childhood and youth touring the Sierra de Madrid. while he dyed canvases, charcoals, and oils. That was how he discovered his fervor for plants, birds, insects, and mammals in those formidable Madrid landscapes. At just 12 years old, his father gave him his first camera, an analog Olympus. The possibility of freezing all that beauty in time captivated and disturbed him in equal measure. Without a doubt, photography was going to be the perfect conjunction between the enthusiasm for natural environments and the plastic arts. Self-taught, in 2010 he decided that he wanted to dedicate time, effort, sacrifice, creativity, and technique to the art of photography. Since then, he has worked on different visual disciplines and personal projects. In 2019 he joined the Portfolio Natural collective, with which he has collaborated in the production of various books such as ‘Brushstrokes of light’ or ‘The art of photographing nature. He is also the author of the book Yebes Esencia Natural. I participate in 2021 in the cycle of talks at the FiO, an international ornithological fair held in Monfrague.
