He received his artistic training at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Madrid, where he resides and pursues his professional career since 1979, but without losing the close bond that unites him to his homeland.<\/p>\n

As a theatrical set designer, the following works stand out: sets for the plays “Las hijas de B\u00fafalo Bill” (1974), “Ruina de sociedad” (1975) and “Canto del Fantoche Lusitano” (1978).
