I combine my profession as a technician in social and health care for dependent people at home with poetry and sculpture. I worked for more than a decade in the metal industry, but vocationally I decided to dedicate myself to helping others in the healthcare industry. Years later I felt the call of steel again, this time in an artistic way, and I began to create sculptures in which I could capture the beauty of things and feelings along with poetry. Poetry and sculpture are passions and for me they go hand in hand.

Regarding the metal branch, I am qualified in locksmithing, metal carpentry and welding. I have mastered various soldering techniques, cutting materials and assembling structures.

In sculpture I am specialized in steel, I make my works without using molds or casting, I do everything by hand, my two most used tools being the welding machine and the radial grinder. A peculiarity of my works is that they are carved directly into the steel, whether solid or hollow, using only a radial grinder; The cutting, roughing, fine-tuning and sanding process is carried out exclusively with this machine, obtaining finishes that stand out to the observer.

My foray into the metal industry began in 1997, a stage that lasted about 11 years. I have done locksmithing, welding and metal carpentry in general. Collaborated in the construction of the structure of the Ángel Pericet Higher Conservatory of Dance in Málaga. Also part of the metal carpentry work team that was responsible for the renovation of one of the pavilions of the University of Malaga, as well as other structural and carpentry work in numerous buildings inside and outside the city.

I also participated in the restoration of one of the popular "pot fountains." These metal fountains were installed in Malaga back in 1878, there were a total of 39 units spread throughout the city, of which only 2 currently remain of a monumental nature that have been relocated and restored following the drawings of the engineer José María deSancha, in charge of the original project, and old photographs.
