and since then he has carried out a personal photographic work around the same research topics embodied in
various individual exhibitions such as America, Urban Landscape (2006), A Tale of Two Cities (2008), In the Landscape
(2010), Twentysix (Abandoned ) Gasoline Stations (Scan Tarragona 2014, PHotoEspaña 2015 and MUN 2018) and

Contemporary Landscape (DKV-Alcobendas, 2016) or Unfinished (Venice Biennial, 2016). He is represented by
