During his 40 years of career he has built up a work of infinite richness. Through his mastery of printing and shooting, particularly in the chamber, playing with subtlety with light and blur as well as with black and white or colour, he uses his technical virtuosity in the service of a plastic, sensitive and introspective universe. Recipient of the prestigious National Photography Prize of the Spanish Ministry of Culture, his prints are part of the largest European collections. We offer here a set of 3 silver prints turned to gold, one of the many printing techniques that the Spanish artist masters to perfection.
