Born in Ciudad Real (Castilla-La Mancha / Spain). His family environment and the multidisciplinary influence of his professional activities; in sports, music, engineering, inventions and art, both in Castilla-La Mancha and in Madrid, it was decisive for the creation within the art world of a very personal and different style, which has been called Rivismo, based in the application of Experiential Brushstrokes. Over the last fifteen years, the continuous research work has managed to reinforce the Concepts and Philosophy that predominate in Rivismo and that have given prominence to material elements to which it has assigned aspects, functions and values of people.
As a test for art lovers, the most direct method of displaying their works has been used, through exhibitions. Exhibitions have been held individually and collectively, in several countries; Spain, China, Italy, United States, among others. Also, there are works in the collection of Museums in Spain and Denmark. The influence of the Internet; Webs pages, Blogs and Social Networks have contributed very quickly to publicize this artistic proposal. In response to all this disclosure of his work, he has received good news by being recognized by inviting him to international exhibitions, inclusion in art books and magazines, and awarding several international awards.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
To define my artistic proposal, I have to incorporate into my work area the figure of the invisible, non-human witness, who receives information through multiple channels. Information, which is retained in order to be processed by a brain that promotes it; creativity, novelty, surprise, imagination and inviting reflection and interpretation. All this, to give freshness to art. And, above all, to give stage freedom to material and immaterial elements, so that they participate on equal terms as if they were people. Materials and mathematical or physical expressions, among others, that participate in functions and feelings typical of human relationships. Hence, a conceptual balance is established between non- human elements; the strong and the weak, equality, empathy, or reassignment of roles. Weak or brittle materials come to occupy the characteristics and functions of strong materials. All this explanation is present in the textual content of the Philosophy and the Concepts of Rivismo. My works, too, show a balance between the basic elements such as; the composition, textures, colors, etc. and, above all, with the creation of an energetic current that circulates throughout the stage, between the material, immaterial and human elements, which is projected outwards, enveloping itself with the observer's own energy.
