I start interested in art, since I was a child. Particularly in the drawing. The first technique that I adopted, was the pen. Basically I was drawing all the time. When I was 9 years old, my art teacher told my parents, to send me to an art academy, because she had noticed my ability to draw. So I start studying charcoal drawing. I participated in some drawing competitions at the provincial level, with very good results. A few years later in high school, I began to study Publicity. I was very interested in the subject "Publicity Drawing" getting the highest score in that subject each year. Parallel with my interest in the visual arts. I start to get interested in music composition and learning to play electric guitar, bass and drums. Being a teenager, I focused entirely on the world of music. In those years even though not draw at all, I was always closely linked to the design. But pencil and paper, I rehemplace by computer and software. Just at this stage it was when I became interested in the art of tattooing. I started quickly to get tattoos on my arms to somehow look like the rock and metal bands I used to watch on MTV. But while I dawned on me that I could do it too. And that's when I became interested in drawing again, but this time within the skin.Then already living in Barcelona, I studied a few semesters, oil painting with the intention to supplement my earlier studies in drawing and the implementing in my job as a tattoo artist. My arrival in Europe, not only marked the beginning of my work as a tattoo artist, but also the interest to know different cultures and languages of the world. while making an amalgam with my own roots and also supplement it with all I got to know artistic influences in my life.
Cinema, music, travel and subsequently architecture and philosophy. over time, they play a very important role in the artistic concept development today. At the moment I'm 3 years living in Ireland and almost 9 in Europe. My base is in Dublin I'm working as a tattoo artist, and learning of all art, music and mysticism of enigmatic Celtic culture.
