Bio

I started my artistic career as a free-lance cartoonist and illustrator in 1980. Upon graduating at The Center of Image and Sound in Barcelona, I joined D’Ocón Films Productions in 1989, one of Spain’s largest animation companies, where I worked and continued training with former animation directors from Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, Hanna Barbera, Universal and DePatie-Freeling studios, like master animator Mr. Arthur Leonardi, Cathy Castillo or Chuck Jones’s pupil Mr.Terry Lenon.

In 1997, I reached a professional glass ceiling in Spain I could not overpass so I decided to look for new horizons and I moved to Asia where I joined the staff of Animation Enterprises Hong Kong Ltd. and Agogo Corporation working as Art Director and Animation Supervisor. The company has studios in different cities along the Southeast coast of China including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Quangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Nanjing, city in which I was training layout and pre-production teams for over three years.

After seven years in Asia, I moved to Toronto (Canada) where I have been serving as adjunct faculty in the animation programs of different institutions like The Art Institute of Toronto, Kennedy College of Technology, and Max The Mutt Animation School.

During my extensive career I have collaborated on many popular shows like: “Problem Child”, “The Pocket Dragons”, “The Mole Sisters”, “The Lampies”, “Skipper & Skeeto”, “Swift & The Little Circus”, “Enigma”, “Fix & Foxi”, “Gloria’s House”, “Dad’X”, “The Little Witches”,or “Pet Pals” among others. I also collaborated on the following feature films: “The Fairy Oak”, “Winnetoons: Going to the West”, “The Black Cat”, and “Yoko Tsuno”.
