I’m a commited guy with a passion for drawing, art and storytelling. I would like to make the world a bit better by telling stories that inspire others.

Biography

I was born and raised in sunny Barcelona. Son of architects and younger brother of one, I have been in love with animation, videogames and comic books since I was a child. After my first professional years working in graphic and website design I made the decision to dive into concept art and storytelling. I studied in Joso School Illustration, Comic book and Concept Art and then restarted my career as a Concept art and Illustrator. I love to draw on a daily basis, and I'm excited to be a part of an industry that revolves around creating great stories! These past 4 years I’ve been involved as a Concept Artist in several animation projects in Barcelona. From small studios to big ones like B-water Studios. These experiences have given me the opportunity not only to grow as a Concept Artist, but to learn in depth how big production pipelines work. At B-Water Studios I’ve been involved in character and prop design, background line art and background painting. For small studios, I have given services like art direction, concept art, storyboard or illustration. I value these projects I've been part of a lot and I also do with my graphic and website design background experience, because they have forged the professional I am today. I consider myself an assertive and helpful team member with a great attitude; passionate and commited, eager to learn new tools and methodologies and not only interested in listening to others feedback but also give my own point of view. I love working on backgrounds. I find the amount of storytelling you can apply in the little details, the composition or the design very appealing. My work has been pretty much in 2d all along, and also hand-made: from doing watercolor studies on my sketchbook, to quick digital exercices from photographs and real life. Then my art moved to digital, where I can use color in a bold way and really push shapes and forms. My plan now is to keep broadening my skillset and expertise in concept art while continue working in an industry I’m really passionate about. I hope to expand my connections and meet other fellow travel companions in the art journey.
