I'm a Spanish Visual Development artist. I've worked for CGI films and lately mobile games, too.

Biography

I've always loved drawing. I started with an obsession for comics that later developed into love for all narrative arts. I studied Fine Arts and then proceeded to enter the professional world. I was lucky enough to get to work in the first CGI animated movie produced in Spain (at a company which was just a five minute walk from my folk's apartment, if you can believe it). From there I've worked with several companies, both hired or freelance.
