In March 2016, I did my first solo exhibition, in a professional gallery : " Emotive constructions" at Jorge Alcolea gallery in Madrid. It was a turning point in my artistic career, although I would like to highlight other exhibitions, that have also been very important for my artistic evolution.
-The collective exhibition in Marbella (Málaga) : " Contemporany Collisions" at Houses of Art Gallery
- The "Biennal d'Art Contemporàni Català" where I was selected among catalan artists for an itinerant exhibition around Catalonia (Sant Cugat del Vallès, Lleida, Tarragona...)

Besides exhibitions, artistic residencies such as Cal cabrit (Llinars del Vallès), Roca Umbert (Granollers) and taking part in the International Workshop organized in Kusadasi (Turkey) in the summer of 2016, have been of great impact to my evolution.
I have also collaborated with different artists of all kind of disciplines, from actors to dancers, poets and writers in multi artistic projects and events.
"To paint is to travel to worlds beyond imagination, is to exteriorize the inner world at the speed of color and discover a hidden Universe, through the shared accomplice view of the spectator"
