Rhythm.
Memory.
Language.
Before writing, there were rhythm, memory and language: three paths, three lives, three ways of inhabiting the world.
Flamenco gave me gesture. The carousel, time. The classics, transmission.
From their encounter, writing was born.
The Genesis
“It is in the heavy silence of my nights that I best hear what is being told to me.”
Former flamenco guitarist, former showman, and former classics teacher: these are the three main lives that nourish my texts. Driven by a visceral need, I create, often at night, attempting to extract beauty from melancholy, solitude, and pain.
Artistic Approach
“The cell opened: ‘Step out, you are free!’
Prisoner 20,003, the sound of the voice still
Vibrates in my ears.”
Between raw poetry and immersive storytelling, my writing revolves around symbolism, rhythm, and emotion. Each creation, each collection of poems or short stories, is crafted as a sensory journey where words resonate far beyond the page.
The Horizon
“I shall exhaust my pains and turn them into art.”
Writing, to which I now dedicate my time, leads me toward new poetic and narrative realms. Today, new projects are taking shape—illustrated stories, hybrid texts, and ongoing reflections—to pursue this quest for expression, this quest for art.

“But in the very end, it was art that prevailed.”
