Graphic Design

After completing his studies in ceramics at the School of Art and Design, he decided to pursue a degree in screen printing in 1989, as he had always been interested in graphic processes and had already experimented with screen printing on both ceramics and fabric during his student years.

Since then, he has combined his work in graphic processes with his ceramic work in parallel. He has collaborated with various graphic designers, particularly with Javier Ibáñez, a designer who provides technical assistance on nearly all of his projects.
His work ranges from posters, album covers, and book illustrations to fanzines, independent magazines, and limited-edition graphic works. This section features a selection of his poster and graphic design work.
He has been selected for various graphic design exhibitions, such as the 2020 exhibition “Prohibit fixar Cartells REA (Cartells Valencians 2000/2020),” a selection of the best posters from twenty years of poster design in the Valencian Community, an exhibition that can be seen at the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània (CCCC) in Valencia and at the Museum of Fine Arts in Castellón, Spain. “Coronavirus and Culture:
Proposals by Valencian Creators,” curated by Marisa Gallén for the Sala Acadèmia at La Nau Cultural Center in Valencia.
The following year, in 2021, he won first prize at the 2nd MAKMA International Poster Competition (Journal of Visual Arts and Contemporary Culture) with the theme “Order/Disorder: The Poster as a Map and an Illustrated Territory of Human Contradictions.”
For the 2022 and 2023 graphic arts exhibitions organized by the Master’s in Graphic Arts (MA) program at the Polytechnic University of Valencia at the Valencian Museum of Enlightenment and Modernity (MUVIM) in Valencia, and at the International Biennial of Peru in the graphic art section at the Aeronautical Museum in Lima, Peru, in 2024.
In 2026, he was included in the exhibition Graphic Art from the Collections of the Antonio Pérez Foundation, marking the 20th anniversary of the Museum of Graphic Art of San Clemente of the Antonio Pérez Foundation in Cuenca
