I am a curious cinephile, intuitive, and a lover of change.
I’ve always admired and enjoyed performing arts, and since I was a teen, I wanted to be involved in them.
Looking forward to forging a global vision, I seek and explore different approaches through arts, studying communication &advertising, drama, and political sciences. Eager to enhance my skills, and enroll in a new challenge, I had the opportunity to go to France following a university program in Nice and Paris, where I could strengthen my business skills, and my abilities to organize, budget, and shape international teams. After my first professional period working as a part of the creativity department in several advertising agencies such as MacCann Erickson or Ogilvy, I reset. I quit everything and went back to university studying Art Direction at the Cinematography School of Madrid (ECAM) finishing in 2005. I knew soon, that it was “the job”, so I completed my building capacities and profile on a doctorate program at the “Technical Architecture School” of Madrid.
Years later, I can say I wasn't wrong and the twist on my tale, worthed the wile:
I love my job, creating and building spaces for all kinds of characters and different purposes is a passionate challenging job , that i simply adore.
Already grown, years later, I’m an adaptable multi-task profile. I have worked as a production designer on feature films, theater, opera, and TV shows. As well, as an art director for big projects working with highly talented senior production designers, with whom is always a pleasure to walk and grow up.
I love, diving into the script, where I try to find out a personal perspective, where the characters can feel at home.
Working on Commercials has been a constant for me all this time, filming for customers such as Repsol, Catalana Occidente, Dodot, Ikea, Pockerstars, Mercedes, Telefónica, El Pais, Siemens, Vodaphone, and many others.
Due to my skills, I can easily join international teams speaking fluent English and French.
As a feature films production designer, I had the significant chance to work along with genious Carlos Saura, with whom I had the chance to build a long-term collaboration. Working as a team, we filmed Flamenco Flamenco ( Carlos Saura 2009 PD myself) and Fados ( Carlos Saura 2007 PD myself), working as art director just close to him and Vittorio Storaro. Other more personal films, in my career, are “La noche que mi madre mato a mi padre” ( Inés Paris2015) where I could explore comedy lenguaje, and the film Masala ( Salvador Calvo).
As part of the art department as an Art Director, I’ve worked on International productions and Tv shows, such as the recent “The Head” ( Jorge Dorado, for HBO and PD Alain Bainée ), Bellas Artes (Gastón Duprat& Mariano Cohn, PD Alain Bainée), Ágora( Alejandro Amenábar, PD Guy Dyas), The Bourne Ultimatum (Paul Greengrass 2007, PD Peter Welham), and national ones as Miguel y William ( Inés Paris, PD John Bunker), Teresa el cuerpo de Cristo (Ray Loriga 2005, PD Rafael Palmero), The World at night (John Healey 2007 PD myself ), La distancia (Iñaki Dorronsoro) Oculto ( Antonio Hernández) .
As a scenographer, I’ve worked together with Carlos Saura for a long time, performing several productions as the opera “Carmen from Bizet” represented on Verdi Theater (Trieste) , Teatro Communale (Florence, “Maggio Musicale Fiorentino”) and Palau de Les Arts ( Valencia), conducted by the amazing Zubin Mehta and Lorin Maazel respectively. I also made the musical spectacle “Flamenco Hoy” ( directed by Carlos Saura).
Theatre lenguaje is also very interesting for me, i could collaborate with “Canal Theatre” under the direction of Gilles Romain, I prepared the “Mahler’s Adaggieto” for the Maurice Béjart Company. At the same theatre, I presented the double opera spectacle “Un Parque,and Very Gentle” on Blanca Li’s conduction based on the composer Luis de Pablo's works. I worked again with Blanca Li on the musical “Enamorados Anónimos” By Paco Delgado.
The challenge is the road!
So, contact me if you have any projects, I will enroll with plenty enthusiasm.
