I was born in Bilbao, Basque Country, in 1976. I live in Barcelona since 2002 when, with a degree in Marketing, I step out of my business career moved by my body's need to express himself.
I discover circus through juggling and I was quickly fascinated by its magic. Trained in contortion, handstands and contemporary dance with international masters such as Pascal Angelier, Claude Victoria or Gustavo Lesgart, among others.
I have performed with different companies in Festivals around Spain, Europe and Mexico. In the last years I create and perform my own solo acts such as “Into the shadows” ( 1st award GOP Brodowy's Broadway casting show 2014) or “Mutations”. (Festival Escena Poblenou 2013).
In 2014 along with other artists we give birth to Tierra Company, and its show “F.I.R.A.”, directed by Jordi Aspa (Escarlata Circus) and produced by the 19th Winter Circus of the Ateneu Popular 9barris. (Barcelona). F.I.R.A. has won the 1st award as Best Circus and Dance show in Feten Festival 2016, Gijón, Spain.
