Presentation

His publication No Caption (2013) together with Arnau Blanch received the Fedrigoni/PrivateSpace Award for self-published books and in 2015 he was awarded the 1st Prize at the Cordoba Biennial for Self-publishing for his book Medianoche, which has also been a finalist in the Rencontres Book Award.
