"I transform real landscapes into devastated territories through apocalyptic hyperrealism"

ORIGINS

Born in Madrid in 1994, I am a hyperrealist painter. My work is characterised by extreme technical precision and the creation of dense, silent atmospheres charged with mystery. Although essentially self-taught, I took my first steps in painting guided by Modesto Trigo, who awakened in me a passion for oil painting and technical rigour.

THE VISION

My work focuses on abandoned places, uninhabited spaces, and real landscapes transformed into apocalyptic scenarios, where hyperrealism coexists with an emotional vision that distorts reality toward the unsettling and the devastated. Each painting captures a moment suspended between beauty and decay.

THE CRAFT

Each work is a slow and meticulous process: each painting requires a minimum of eight months of work, and some exceed even a year of continuous dedication. This investment of time is reflected in the complexity of my textures, my infinite layers, and my absolute control of light.I advocate for a completely artisanal practice: 100% manual painting, without AI and without digital intervention, built exclusively with traditional technique and real working time.
