One summer, he even created an entire "monster catalogue," foreshadowing his future path. He graduated in Illustration from the Escola d'Art I Superior de les Illes Balears. He then spent several years working as a painter and street portrait artist. In 2013, he earned a five-year degree in Painting from the University of Salamanca. He began his professional career as a book illustrator in 2011, while still completing his studies.

"I realized that this was my path: to channel my creativity and energy into storytelling as an illustrator. This way, I can reconnect with the magical feelings of my childhood and share them through my art."
