Graduated in Fine Arts, from the University of Barcelona in the Image speciality. He started feeling interested in painting, focusing the beginning of his formation/training on this activity. He works simultaneously on photography and video-film making. He starts using pinhole cameras in his photography works, which implies the making of different cameras, depending on the aesthetic form of each work and trying to adapt the method and the process to get the final result. The video works consist of a series of cartoons in Super 8 and they are experimental.
