Art Director & VisDev
Madrid, Spain

Visual Development Artist with 20 years of experience in design, illustration, and world-building.
I specialize in crafting immersive visual narratives for film, series, and storytelling-driven projects. My passion lies in developing striking atmospheres, from concept art to fully realized cinematic visions.

I thrive in both solo creation and collaborative environments, mentoring artists and pushing projects to achieve their full visual potential. My work blends the eerie and the sublime, drawing from dark fantasy, horror, and surrealism to create hauntingly beautiful worlds.

I also make my own music productions based on drone-ambient soundscapes with weird gear and deep, droning riffs.
