Always passionate about the poetic and narrative aspects of photography, my photos speak from a point of view that is artistic, intimate and self- expressive.
My love for the Arts developed in 1997 while working as an art critic for the Spanish newspaper ‘Diari de Tarragona’.
I have also worked in advertising and cinema, which has given me the perfect platform to jump into my real passion: photography.
In 2004 I plunged into the photography field at Keltia School of Photography (Madrid, Spain) where later became founder and creator of the photo magazine ‘Zero Zone’.
In 2007 I was commissioned to photograph Madrid’s new River District, as part of a photo book edited by Madrid’s City Hall.
I currently combine collaborations with Carulla’s Foundation on a photography project for the preservation of Rural Memory in Catalonia and with the Tortosa City Hall on a photo and sculpture project for the Museum of History of Tortosa.
