Trained as a photographer and musician, his work explores the visual expression of emotion through the use of photographic imagery.

Silence as departure point, is a new installation project, it was set up during the Spring of 2010, under the mainframe of the festival Semana de Música Religiosa en Cuenca, Spain. The Fundación Antonio Saura sponsored the project.
It included three projectors, 120 images, a video and a sound space composed ex professo for the place; the venue is the nave of a XVII century de-sacralized church in Cuenca. The installation opened the week long festival and the participation of Peter Greenaway closed it with a movie named The Marriage, inspired by a painting of Paolo Veronese, The Wedding at Cana; the film was a co-production of the Semana de Música Religiosa and the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
