Bio
Born in 1974 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, he graduated in Fine Arts from the University of La Laguna and began exhibiting his work in 2002. His pieces have been selected for biennial exhibitions in both Las Palmas and Tenerife, earning him first prizes such as the Excellens Sculpture Prize from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Miguel Arcángel (2011) and the Manolo Millares CajaCanarias First Prize (2009). In 2006, he held his first solo exhibition, titled "Seeker of Norths," in which, under the motto "where everything is done and everything is yet to be done," he presented a collection of veiled homages to some of the sculptors he admires, including Brancusi and Giacometti.
