In "Black Hole", the central concavity functions as a point of aesthetic gravity: a void that attracts the gaze and retains it. This "hole" is not an absence, but an intense presence, a nucleus that concentrates energy. The black marble reinforces the idea of a deep, almost cosmic space, where matter seems to fold inward. The extreme polishing turns the surface into a dark mirror, a boundary between the tangible and the intangible. The light wood base creates a contrast with the warmth of the support that makes the coldness of the marble even more emphatic. It is a work that speaks of attraction, mystery, density, and of that kind of emptiness that does not subtract, but enhances. An emptiness that suggests origin, center, beginning.

Self-taught artist, with complementary training in Fine Arts and Architecture, disciplines that partially studied and that influenced in a decisive way in his plastic language. From the beginning of his career he opts for independent learning, especially in the field of sculpture, where he develops a personal and coherent work outside academies.

His work has been presented in individual exhibitions at the Museo Tiflológico de la ONCE (Madrid) and at the Fontanar Gallery in Riaza (Segovia), as well as in various institutional exhibitions at the Riaza Town Hall. He has also participated in national collective exhibitions, such as the VII Salón de Arte Abstracto in Madrid, Esculturas frente al mar in Dénia and the Concurso Internacional d'Escultura ICRE in Tarragona. He has recently exhibited in Galería Origen (Madrid) and Galería ArtNou (Barcelona).
