I am a sculptor, ceramist and luthier, also known as Paparolo. I hold a degree in Biological Sciences and later trained in modelling at the School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where I also taught. My involvement in the Sargadelos Ceramic Studies Seminar, together with further training in La Bisbal, marked the beginning of a long period of technical and experimental research focused on relief and ceramic materials.

After an initial period linked to muralism, I progressively oriented my practice towards sculpture. I took part in the first exhibition of contemporary ceramics organised in Galicia (Tendencias, Casa da Parra, 1987) and have exhibited in public institutions and museums, as well as in galleries such as Metro and Trinta. A prolonged period of work outside the exhibition circuit allowed me to consolidate a personal sculptural language that informs my current practice.

My work revolves around the concept of (re)generation, understood as a circular and self-sustaining sculptural process linked to the transformation of matter. From this perspective, I address three-dimensionality, movement and organicity as structural elements of form. I work primarily with high-temperature ceramic materials, seeking to make my sculptures appear to emerge in space through their own structural extensions. In the ongoing Soma series, this approach takes shape through what I define as calculated improvisation: the form is based on prior planning of the underlying structure, but develops through intuition and free modelling, ultimately consolidated through colour, texture and the lustre of the glaze.
