I started modelling back in 2000 at Bren Enterteinmet Studios in Spain. I finished the MAISCA in Balears University the year before. At Bren I worked in Donkey Xote, Ratoncito Perez 2, Goomer Series, Nocturna, Pinocchio 3k,
After eight years I moved to NY to work in Bluesky Studios, where I was part of a great team. I worked in Rio, Rio 2, Ice Age 4, Peanuts, Epic, Ferdinand. I was there for 5 incredible years.
I moved to Madrid to work for Paramount Animation as senior modeler for the movie WonderPark.
After that I became a freelancer working for Studio Kimchi, VHouse Animation and Animum School. Always modeling.
All models showed in this page from Bluesky Studios are not the original, they were remodeled at home by me due to copyright issues.
I put all my passion and experience in the models I make.
