I thought you might be interested in taking a tour of my studio, which is located in the basement of my house, so I can take advantage of any moment to work. Going down the stairs you can see several bronze sculptures. On the table you can see the plaster and silicone molds that I use to make the wax figures that I later took to the foundry to make the bronze figures using the lost wax method. On the table under the window you can see the spot welder and the radial that I used for my iron sculptures. Next you can see the water and acid room where I prepared intaglio plates and prepared the paper to print engravings. Then you can see the torculum that is the press to print the engravings. You can see in the background, the drawers where I keep the prints and on top where I keep small oil paintings. The large oil paintings are leaning against the wall or rolled. On the ground you can see numerous wire sculptures. All over the studio you can see my works.

Welcome to my website. I am sure that you will find your way around easily and enjoy seeing close-up images of the works.
I thought that you might like a quick visit to my studio so I have made a short video which you can find on the Videos page.
This autumn and winter I have had little time for my artwork as I have been refurbishing my house. Apart from renovating the plumbing and electricity, I have put in new insulated windows, new flooring and painted the whole house. To achieve this, I was obliged to store the furniture in my basement studio hence I had no time or place to work. I am thrilled with the result of the revamp and delighted to see that some of my large oils exalt the new location. I have always thought that my large works were more directed for public spaces i.e. vestibules or public areas but now realise that they embellish any size room. I have made a small video of my works in the house which you can find on “Videos” section.
This month I have managed to finish another oil on canvas of 130 /97 cm. ” The fishermen with their catch”. In this work, I captured the harsh and beautiful reality of maritime life. Using oil paints, I captured the essence of teamwork and the sobriety of the fishermen’s daily efforts. Expressionist brushstrokes and stylized figures convey movement and emotion, reflecting soul and camaraderie in hard work.
I am happy to announce that I presented a print, ” Jazz Quintet I” , in the II International Prize for Prints, Castilla – La Mancha, Spain and was awarded the 2nd Prize donated with 1,000 euros. The print is included in a rotating exhibition. The third and last exhibition is at the Museu de Arte Contemporaneo Infanta Elena in Tomelloso, Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, Spain from the 15th of March 2024.
