About 

I am a European Architect currently living the pulse of New York City while working for Eisenman Architects fulltime since the begining of this year.

I feel myself pretty enthusiastic, optimistic and hardworking. That is why I tend to understand architecture as a transversal discipline. I project, practice, write and paint, always moved by the same engine: architecture.

I have an artist background, I have developed a few exhibitions as a painter, sculptor and curator in Spain, Portugal and The Netherlands.

Despite this, I also dominate the technical field of architecture; I am in posesion of the Spanish Licence for Architects.
