I have been capturing behind-the-scenes moments for a long time. This is just one example a way to shine a light on the incredible people who make every show possible.

I have lived a thousand and one lives, half of them behind the scenes. Yet, every new project still excites me.
I studied Fine Arts with a Postgraduate degree in Painting, followed by a Master’s in Photography. Until the age of 20, I trained in Music and Piano, which gave me a strong sense of rhythm something that naturally influences my approach to lighting. Along the way, I completed several courses in Theatre Technology, expanding my expertise in stagecraft. My career has taken me from the most underground, alternative spaces, where raw artistic energy is at its peak to the grand world of Opera, where I deepened my understanding of technical complexity and teamwork in large-scale productions.
Since 2011, I have been working as a freelancer in Berlin, leading numerous projects as a Technical Director and many more as a Lighting Designer . Whether working in intimate experimental settings or major productions, light is my medium, shaping emotions, guiding narratives, and transforming spaces.
The list of projects is long, and each one has shaped my journey. If you'd like to know more, feel free to get in touch in English, German or Spanish.
