I’m intensely fascinated with human nature, addictions, pleasure seeking and other forms of extreme and obsessive activities. This is why I call myself Compulsive Behaviour.  My photography work is a growing experiment. I use old cameras: Argus C3, Coronets, Holgas, Kodak Duaflex, Brownies. Although a lot of thought and planning goes behind my projects, the outcome with these cameras always has a surprising.

In addition to my photography and illustration work, I make masks and dolls. These creations, once they have left me, inhabit a new world and give people the opportunity of getting a piece of original work and breathe into it, a life of it’s own.
A lot of my work takes inspiration from the whole world of Lucha Libre wrestling and Mexican iconography amongst other things.  Welcome to a world full of clowns, mermaids, wrestlers, harlots, flying elephants, mutated giants, alienated planets, midgets, freaks and human dolls.
