I was born in 1978 in Santiago de Compostela, La Coruna. It is one of the provinces in the Northwest corner of Spain that make up the region of Galicia. I was raised in a town called Noia until I came to the United States in 1985 and have resided here ever since. I knew at an early age that I had been born with artistic talents which helped spark my vigorous love of art. Being artistically gifted is something that can never be taken away. There is no greater satisfaction than to take a plank piece of material and creating something that can spark emotions in another human being or creating something in which you can share your inner thoughts without uttering a single word. It is a science of connection. I like all periods of art history, from the great masters of the renaissance such as Michelangelo to the more contemporary master of the modern age such as Picasso. Most artists enjoy listening to jazz or blues while creating their art. I'm a bit more unorthodox when it comes to that. I like to enjoy rock music while I paint such as Guns N' Roses, Godsmack and grunge era bands like Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam  it helps me convey more energy into my work. I hope you enjoy the rest of the E-Portfolio.
