I majored in Art History at the Faculty of Geography and History of the University of Barcelona, and later, also earned a degree in Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona. I then received my Masters in Paint Technology from the Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Department of the Faculty of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Barcelona, and last, my PhD in Art History from the University of Barcelona.
I have always combined teaching, painting, sculpture and writing. I began in 1993 with a teaching fellowship and later continued as an associate lecturer in the Art History Department of the Faculty of Geography and History at the University of Barcelona, where I created and developed Spain's first practical class workshop to teach an Artistic Techniques course, which became a model of reference for other Spanish universities.
Later, I taught Traditional Animation Drawing Techniques, Computer-assisted Illustration and Stone and Wood Carving at the Pau Gargallo School of Art and Design in Badalona. I worked as Head of the Metal Workshop in the Department of Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona. Following this period, I moved on to become an adjunct professor for the first Occupational Workshop on Environmental Sculpture of Spain through the Technical University of Catalonia Foundation, the Ministry of Labor of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia and the European Social Fund. This led to my role as Professor of Drawing and Visual Perception in the Product Design Degree Program at the Vic School of Art and Design.
My artistic work was selected to participate in the semester of free plastic art projects organized by Professor David Evison at the Universität der Künste Berlin, and I received a number of awards, among them the international City of Borriana (Valencia) Outdoor Sculpture Award (Escultura al Aire Libre Ciudad de Borriana), and the Award for new Techniques for Creative Projects of the Joan and Pilar Miró Foundation and Sotheby's (Majorca). My writing was recognized with the Espais Art Criticism Award, and I was appointed to advise artists of the ACEA (Catalan Association of Artistic Entities). After this, I was admitted to the AICA (Association Internationale des Critiques d'Art), and today, I am co-editor of BRAC Barcelona Research Art Creation, an indexed research journal of the University of Barcelona.
For some years now, I was part of the teaching team of La Massana, School of Art and Design attached to the UAB, Autonomous University of Barcelona, where I participated in the creation of the mention of Visual Arts of the first Degree in Arts and Design that integrates three disciplines in a single degree: applied arts, visual arts and design. There, I was coordinator of the subjects of drawing and taught Basic Drawing, Drawing I, Drawing II, Hybrid Drawing, Idea and Drawing, and Representation. I have also been a consultant for the subject Drawing and graphic expression workshop of the first Online Degree in Arts at the UOC, Open University of Catalonia, and I held the position of Deputy Coordinator of the subject of Artistic Drawing in the PAU (University of Catalonia Entrance Exams) and today I hold the position of Coordinator of the new subject Fundamentals of the Arts.
Currently, I am a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona, where I have taught Initiation to Artistic Processes and Projects, Processes of Artistic Creation, Artistic Creation Projects, Creation Workshop, Expansions of Art, and I am a tutor for Final Degree Projects and director for Doctoral Thesis. I have been invited to give lectures or workshops at the universities of Regensburg, Düsseldorf, Vilnius, Vienna, Florence and Venice.
