Materia Y Arte

My interest in painting began in the 60s in León, with a restoration of a Pieta that the religious of San Marcos asked of me. During those years, he emigrated to Paris with the illusion of art. I lived there for two years alternating between art and some work to survive.

Between Montmartre, Els Pons de las Artes, museums and exhibitions, I managed to gather around thirty paintings that, when I returned to Spain for military service, I exhibited in León at the R.S.E. Friends of the Country.

When I joined the ranks in Astorga, the head of the rocket launcher regiment suggested that I exhibit at the City Hall during the holidays. And so it was, during the time of S.M. I was working a lot in those places and I left a lot of work in the barracks and for the military.

When I graduated in 1965 I moved to Catalonia, specifically to Sant Boi de Llobregat (Barcelona) where I exhibited at the City Hall.

In 1966 I married Genoveva and continued with the paintings above and below. I started participating in speed painting contests. In Tossa de Mar I always sold paintings. During these years, I painted a lot of commercial paint that I sold to department stores and furniture and decoration houses. This helped me a lot when working with the spatula.

Due to the circumstances of life, family and work, I was never able to study fine arts, so I am self-taught and often necessity forces you to make an effort and achieve what you would never have thought of.

In 1968, with the help of Genoveva, my wife, we opened a small shop outside the Mercado Centro of Cornellà de Llobregat where, thanks to God and many efforts, I exhibit and sell all my work. I have a good portfolio of clients who pass their orders from generation to generation.

Currently I am a retired pensioner and I move with the Group of Plastic Artists of Castelldefels and the associations of the Baix Llobregat region of Barcelona, ​​exhibiting in various locations, as well as in the Plaza de las Palmeras on the Paseo Marítimo of Castelldefels, all the first and third Sundays of each month by concession from the City Council of this town.
