He is currently working on his doctoral thesis on graphic visions and their relationship with the arts and architecture. His career has been boosted by grants and artistic residencies, such as those of San Millán and Ayllón. He has received awards such as the Canalejas Centre and Four Seasons. His work has been recognised in national and international exhibitions and focuses on the representation of the contemporary city and architecture as a reflection of human progress. The work focuses on the investigation and plastic representation of the city and contemporary architecture, considered as the sculpture of the 21st century and a reflection of human progress. Through an analysis of modern buildings in Madrid, the work explores the duality between the fascination with architectural innovation and the challenges of sustainability, social equity and cultural preservation facing urban development. Examples such as ‘Torre A’, based on the renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, show a detailed process that includes photography, digital editing and layering to reveal the aesthetic and social complexity of architecture. The work invites reflection on the relationship between the urban environment and its inhabitants, and the dynamics of power and progress in modern cities.
