Jesus is an Andalusian artist who while studying a nurse degree in Madrid discovered his love for art making.
After finishing his degree, Jesus moved to the UK looking for adventures and ended up studying a Master's at the Royal College of Art.
His practice is based on life experiences, his work as a nurse being the main inspiration.
His work search for colour and abstraction, aiming to create a contemplative space, a window to meditation, where to allow the viewer to find their own meaning.
He has been selected as Dior Laureate at LUMA Arles, for his project Lost Memoirs, an abstract conversation about his patients with dementia.
