ABOUT

As far back as I can remember, a pencil and a sheet of paper is all I have ever needed to understand myself, to communicate and unravel the world. My grandma’s spoken stories, written and illustrated fiction, animation and cinema first inspired me to draw. All this led me to study Arts and Crafts in Escola Massana, as well as Fine Arts at the University of Sant Jordi in Barcelona and Design at the Institut Català de la Moda. My first comic page was published in 1981 in the French magazine “PifGadget” and since then I have been consistently working, mostly on comics and illustrations for several publishers from all over the world.  

 

I have been using the digital format for years; I know that this field offers a lot of amazing, almost infinite possibilities, and I have still to discover many of them. Each new skill I gain is very precious to me. Though I like using scanned materials to experiment and create different effects, I ensure that the medium doesn’t define my work; I still prefer handcrafted effects. I really appreciate the work of many colleagues and I deeply admire what they do, but when I work, I have never liked trying to reproduce any other form in particular. I prefer sticking to my own style and try to avoid becoming too conditioned.

 

I believe the versatility of my work is highlighted by my prolific career and the examples shown on this page offers a flavour of the various projects I have worked on. My work is expressive, tender and humorous, especially when aimed at children and young people, which is what I specialized in.

​

These last few years I have been working on an exciting project, consisting in the representation and sponsorship of emerging artists in Barcelona through my own organization, Togs Art Barcelona, where I have gained a valuable experience as curator of exhibitions and organizer of multidisciplinary cultural events.
