Born in Valencia on Aug. 11, 1965, son of a craftsman jeweler, at the age of 13 I go school of Jewellers Guild Valencia, I studied there for nine years.

My father taught me the art of forging and Baroque jewelry Valencia.
1992-2006; I take charge of section of custom made jewelry of a traditional workshop.
In 2006 I open my own workshop.
I'm a lover of Renaissance, I am inspired by nature and architecture.
Since 2010 the Titanium has become one of my everyday metals along with gold, silver and precious stones.
Titanium is a great unknown, hard, tough and resists being manipulated.
I work hand techniques always, I had to learn for myself all the secrets it contains.
At the moment I'm interested in jewelry as a form of dialogue. To me a jewel is a novel we write between the viewer and me.
