'I try to capture the essence of different moments in daily life in the city. I also specialize in family portraits and in capturing memories of especial places for clients. I take on commissions for private and corporate clients. As part of the art collective Spanish Artist in London (SAL), I also do project based work. Themes have included: Homage to Lorca, Love and Identity.'
