He was born in Vila-real in 1958. He soon discovers the secrets of the lab as his father is a good  printer  and has a great love of photography. He did not start taking pictures until 1982.

In the beginning, his work is social related  and in black and white. During this time he takes part in photographic competitions obtaining  local and national  awards.

But it is from 1988 when already mastering the technique his work gains quality and without neglecting photographic competitions, he focuses more on the elaboration of essays to be shown in exhibitions.

In the year 2000, he puts aside photography and dismantles his  lab, so he can no longer copy his own photos. In 2007, taking advantage of the rise of digital photography, he manages to adapt to the new rhythm and retouching techniques and the new possibilities of the cameras, to make a new kind of  photography,  new documentary work but now in color, breaking the rules of  black and white photography.

He has the option to travel in recent years and has produced various essays in different countries.

He has had individual  exhibitions in more than twenty galleries throughout the Spanish geography, and more than one hundred national awards endorse the author's career.
