APPRENTICESHIP

With the intellectual curiosity which characterizes him, at the early age of 16 he started visiting on a regular basis the workshop where an old school carpenter worked using artisanal techniques. He graduated in Sculpture, broadening his knowledge by working with different materials such as… stone, wood, and iron, specializing in this last one. With the passing of time he attended different courses and collaborated with different artisans among which it is worth highlighting his experience with F. Bramsteil, J. C. Quintana and at the School of Crafts in León.
