I am a member as a heraldic artist of the Society of Heraldic Arts having passed their artistic selection tests.
Probably, I have had the honor of being the first Spanish artist accepted within it and, perhaps, the first of all in the Spanish-speaking world.
Five college degrees from four different universities and a long experience serving patrons from different cultures and traditions is the base of my heraldic practice. My wide range of knowledge and broad praxis are factors of my exuberant creativity. With a blend of strict adherence to tradition whilst hand drawing and an artistic combination of digital imaging procedures, I astoundingly «brings symbols to life».
My artistic style combines hand and digital process and could be drawn with 3 terms: clear, symbolic and methodical.
Clear because his creations transmit energy and vital force to the owner, he believe that a coat of arms should be a source of light and joy and an expression of freedom.
Symbolic because a coat of arms must be a representation of its bearer, his/her ideals, goals, motivations or history.
Finally, my heraldic creation methodology is founded on the science of heraldry and is a guarantee of a professional work.
Bernard Juby has written an book about modern-day, world-wide heraldic bookplate artists, their cv's and examples of their work, and he include 7 illustrations of book plates created by me and my curriculum vitae, [Juby, B.; 2019; pages 51-53].
Heraldisch Tijdschrift is the bulletin of the Dutch Genealogical Society - Heraldic Division. Bernard Grothues, his heraldic copywriter, has written an article about me for the number 4 of July-August of 2019, and 3 coats of arms created by me and 3 emblazoned be me appear on its cover. [Grothues, B.; 2019; pages 51-53].
