Categoría: Lighting Designers

In 1995 I took a lighting course at the “CES” (Centro de Estudios de Sonido) and until 1997 I worked as a lighting technician in several tours in Spain (La Unión, Miguel Bosé, Alejandro Sanz, among others).

In 1997 I moved to Porto, where I managed the lighting department of the municipal theatre “Rivoli”, until 2007. During that period I taught workshops at “ESMAE” (Escuela Superior de Música e Artes del Espectáculo), I was founder and technical director of the show production company “El Faro” and I did several jobs as a lighting designer in different areas (opera, theatre, rock, dance and architecture).

In 2007 I returned to Spain and for a year I worked as a freelancer collaborating with companies like “Electric Cube” and “EML”. In 2008 I started working at the “Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía” as a lighting desk programmer, where I still work today.

Since 2017 I work regularly with the company “Stonex SL” as a trainer for “MA Lighting”.
