I was born in Madrid in 1979. I studied advertising graphic design and I have dedicated most of my life to the design and layout of magazines, although, in recent years, vector illustration has occupied a large part of my professional projects. Addicted to video games and fond of comics, movies, series, and all of the pop culture, something that is reflected in many of my illustrations.
