20th-21st Century Spanish

This highly creative sculptor and painter from Cadiz has incorporated new technologies into his practice.

After studying Fine Arts and Technical Drawing in Madrid, he opened his own
practice in 1968 and collaborated with the artists on the roster of the Carl Van der Voort Gallery. Particularly germane for his art practice was the relationship he maintained with the members of the El Paso and Grupo 57 art groups in the 1970s.

His evolution as an artist led him to experiment with computers at the Seminar on the Generation of Plastic Forms where he coincided with José María Yturralde (1942). There he developed a programme based on the Moebius strip resulting from his investigation of kinetic machines and sculptures.

He has exhibited his work in various Spanish cities, but also in venues worldwide including Bogotá, Lima, London, Brussels and Castres, among others.
