Born in Zaragoza in 1972. His artistic pseudonym is ALMA and presents his vision and interpretation of reality, as well as his fantasies of his inner world. Its beginnings were with charcoal and blood drawings, this being the one that gave it a visual retreat towards a Renaissance artistic era, which allowed it to link current portraits to antiquity. His eagerness and desire for expressiveness led him to embark on the technique of acrylic on canvas, which allowed him to express his interior in color, which is clearly seen in his early works. This era will lead him to be inspired and contextualized in classical art, from the Egyptian, Romanesque, Renaissance and modernist, to flow into contemporary currents. Almost all of these periods are personal interpretations in his works. From this contact with contemporary artistic trends, a more imaginative work begins to awaken, such as travel abstractions, some faux-naive, such as “A subway station in Berlin.” Also the result of the need to contemplate his own personal, current cosmos, while rooted in classical and atavistic inspirations, he is making more fantasy landscapes and canvases, to get to combine the colors that fascinate him most and use glaze techniques, which they allow him to play with the spaces and several drawing planes, while creating a diffuse universe, which leaves the viewer interpretive possibility.
