Javier Bar\u00f3n Thaidigsmann, doctor in Art History, critic, and Head of Collection of Nineteenth-Century Painting at the Museo Del Prado, has written about his painting: \u201cBecause of the playful sense of the brushstroke and the chromatic range that he uses, it can be considered the only representative in Asturias of colorful abstraction of Mediterranean origin\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He exhibited his work for the first time at the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias in 1982, after being selected for the III National Biennial of Art City of Oviedo. That same year he was included in the XIII Luarca National Painting Contest, and exhibited with the ABRA plastic group at the Nicanor Pi\u00f1ole Gallery in Gij\u00f3n. It will form part of ABRA until 1987, with more relevant exhibitions in New York (Westbroadway Gallery, 1984) and the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias (1987).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1983 he opened his first solo exhibition at the Nicanor Pi\u00f1ole Gallery in Gij\u00f3n. He was selected for the IV National Biennial of Art City of Oviedo, at the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias, in 1984. In 1987 he shows his work again in the five galleries of the Caja de Ahorros de Asturias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He participated in the exhibition organized by the University of Oviedo in its historic building to commemorate the history of the ABRA Group, in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a journalist, he has been editor of Diario de Mallorca (1992-2000 and 2009-2016), editor of Faro de Vigo (2000-2006), deputy editor of La Opinion A Coru\u00f1a (06-09) and deputy editor of La Nueva Espa\u00f1a, of Asturias. During his time at the latter newspaper, he launched the Culture supplement, and directed it until his move to Mallorca, where he also created the \u201cBellver\u201d cultural supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His journalistic activity has always been combined with painting, but when he assumed directing positions in the press, he decided to stop exhibiting to avoid conflicts of professional ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2017 he has returned to publicly display his works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
