About Myself

I studied Graphic Design at a very special school, the Faculty of Architecture at PUCV, where we were taught the relationship between poetry and music with the construction of images and creative concepts. But the most important thing was observation, of light, of landscape, of objects, of living beings. Observing ourselves, our emotions and thoughts. All the movement of nature. That was my first training; and the requirements included a full year of architecture, which was common for all students of graphic design and industrial design. The professors thought that the knowledge of a designer or an architect should not be limited to his or her specialty. That method marked me and helped me to approach each project with an open mind and the attitude of never stop learning.

So, for me, training never ends, especially now, when our world has gone digital. There is always a new program, a tutorial, that with unexpected tools, opens you to a new technique and this to a new project.

Since I was a child I have been enthusiastic about drawing, but also about building objects, working with wood, painting colors, designing letters, characters, stains, writing stories. Suddenly the border between design, illustration, 3D, animation, writing, became blurred. And I began to quietly jump from designing a character with its costume, to modeling a building in 3D, or writing the script for a short film and drawing the story board, without abandoning the traditional techniques of drawing on paper, oil painting or watercolor.

In 1993 I founded the illustration, photo retouching and design studio "NuevasArtes" in Santiago de Chile. Since 1997, based in Madrid, I work as a freelance for most advertising agencies, creative studios and production companies in Spain and some clients in Europe and the United States.
