In that little village of Spain named Guadalajara,
I had the great chance, being only fourteen years
old to realize the architectural plans for the
rebuilding of a stable transformed in a holidays
home and, later, at sixteen, the plans of the
family house.
When I made the plans of the main house, I had
not the faintest notion of architecture. I was
drawing and realizing by intuition; How many
bricks, How to build up the stairs ? My father
was guiding me little by little, confronting
himself to these problems.
From that time, drawing in 3D has been for me
an important concern.
And thats in 1982, during my electrotechnic
studies, where I was just average at industrial
drawing, that, with a friend, we bought a
computer (SINCLAIR ZX 81, 3,25 MHz, 16 k
of ram, cheap price of year 1981). We were
using it for a week, alternately, but soon, I paid
the other half to keep it at home and began to be
conscious that I was making artwork when I
linked up drawing to codes and computer
language.
In 1988,I studied in evening classes for the
entrance examination to the l' ENSBA ( École
Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts , Paris ,
France). In 1989, I was admitted after a very
academic and classical competitive examination.
Very rapidly, in this art school, thanks to an
exceptionally talented teaching staff, with Pierre
BURAGLIO and also, thanks to the policy of
Yves MICHAUD, head of this school and
philosopher, I got the possibility of developing a
personal work on installations, particularly on
a sounding installation based on sensors.
In 1993, I finished my studies and was engaged
for a month as a trainer in the ENSBA to explain
the computerized 3D modeling with the newly
created Data basis of the school. There, I
promoted the idea, the concept of drawing in
three dimensions.
