Biography

I was born in March 1945, in a beautiful town called Colmenar Viejo, Madrid, Spain, where I lived with my parents, brother and sister until my mother was transferred as a teacher to a little town called Pedrosa de Valdeporres in Burgos, Northern Spain. I studied designing, dressmaking and business management before leaving for England in September 1971, to study English. After a few years I established my own chauffeuring company, which I ran successfully for a long time until I decided to pursue a career in art
