\nI was born in Barcelona in 1955.\u00a0\u00a0I am\u00a0a\u00a0graphic illustrator.\u00a0Since\u00a01989\u00a0I have been teaching\u00a0Visual Narrative at Escola Massana d’Art i Disseny in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

My field of work is\u00a0quite\u00a0diverse and includes\u00a0books, editorial, advertisement, design, animation and other works that I wouldn’t know how to classify.<\/p>\n

I understand my profession as a way to communicate\u00a0freely,\u00a0trying\u00a0 ways and learning from\u00a0mistakes.<\/p>\n

I like teaching because it\u00a0is a means of\u00a0exchanging\u00a0knowledge and\u00a0continuously\u00a0testing\u00a0that which\u00a0is taken\u00a0for granted.<\/p>\n

\nAnd I also believe that the quality of the work is directly proportional to the time spent thinking, drawing or building without being subdued by the duties of the briefings, the prejudices of the clients or the pressure of the bills to pay.<\/p>\n

In my case, all\u00a0of\u00a0this\u00a0has resulted in 80 illustrated books; regular contributions,\u00a0during various periods\u00a0of time,\u00a0for\u00a0the\u00a0principal\u00a0Spanish newspapers and cultural magazines; animations for\u00a0TV, foundations\u00a0and film festivals; many works published in several countries and dozens of artworks\u00a0difficult to classify. Some of these\u00a0are\u00a0included\u00a0on this website.<\/p>\n
