• The Absentees

• I was born in Pamplona (Spain) in 1981. My inquisitive and esthetic spirit made that I at 18 years old took a train to Barcelona. There I studied arts, first painting and photography later. Photography has supported me financially in the last years. In this time I worked for different publications. Collaborating in catalogues for designers and assignments for design and publicity. At the same time I developed my own artistic language that have been published in magazines such as "Rojo", "Juicy Magazine", "LQ Magazine" and exhibitions in Sala de Arte Jove, Sala Busquets, galería La Fábrica and CCCB (BAC’09).
