Full-time Interim Lecturer with a Ph.D. in Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Murcia, with a Recognized Research Merit (Sexenio).

My research career focuses primarily on the analysis of participatory artistic strategies developed around an Internet-based art practice, nourished mainly by social ideologies but also by the collaborative tools of Web 2.0.

The origins of these research interests lie in my university training during my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (UMU/2011), where I received the award for the best academic record of the 2006–2011 cohort, as well as an Honorable Mention in the Spanish National Graduation Award for Higher Education (MECD). During my undergraduate studies, I was granted two competitive scholarships to study abroad: one in the United States (ISEP program, 2008/2009 academic year) and another in Argentina (ILA program, 2009/2010). I also received three research initiation grants: a collaboration grant from the MECD (2010) for the project New Pictorial Supports and Materials V, and two Research Initiation Grants from the University of Murcia (2011 and 2013) for the projects Poetics of Reflection: Specular Movements in Contemporary Art and Internet Art 2.0: Artistic Strategies in Video Art and Other Moving Images in 21st-Century Cyberculture.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I pursued two official master's degrees: the Master’s Degree in Artistic Production and Management at the University of Murcia (2011/2012) and the Official Master’s Degree in Secondary Education, Baccalaureate, Vocational Training, Language Teaching, and Artistic Education at Miguel Hernández University of Elche (2014/2015). In the first master's program, I graduated with Honors for my Master's Thesis, which became the seed for a research project that led to a research residency at the Study Center of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (2014) and to being awarded a Predoctoral Research Fellowship (FPI) from the Seneca Foundation – Science and Technology Agency of the Region of Murcia (2015).

The Seneca Foundation funded further research stays at prestigious institutions such as Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (2016/2017), and the Complutense University of Madrid (2018). This fellowship also enabled me to complete my Ph.D. dissertation Internet Art 2.0: Community-Oriented Participatory Strategies, defended in 2019 with the distinction of Outstanding Cum Laude. The dissertation received an International Mention and was structured as a Compendium of Publications.

Alongside my academic training, I have developed a career as a visual artist, producing paintings, installations, and poster designs that have received various awards. I was selected for three consecutive editions of the International Exhibition of University Art IKAS ART (Bilbao, 2008, 2010, 2011). Some of the most notable awards and recognitions include: First Prize in the XI Young Painting Award of the Murcia Chamber of Commerce (2009); finalist in the First International Contest of Plastic Arts: Small Format, Romea 3 Gallery (2011); First Prize in the Visual Arts Competition “Creajoven,” Murcia City Council (2011); Prizewinner in the 2nd Edition of the “Project 4 Artists” contest organized by Trementina Association (2012); “C. Salinas” Prize in the 34th International Miniature Painting Competition, Huestes del Cadí, Alicante (2013); selection in the VIII International Competition “Mulier Mulieris,” University of Alicante Museum (2014); selection in the IX National Painting Award “Miradas,” Jorge Alió Foundation, Alicante (2014); selection (as part of the IAyC collective) in the Visual Arts category of the “CreaMurcia” contest organized by the Murcia City Council (2017); selection for the exhibition “Des-educación utópica,” curated by Daniel Soriano at the Sala de Máquinas, Centro Párraga, Murcia (2018); awarded at the Art and Social Transformation Festival - Microacciona (2023); finalist in the III Photography Contest on Gender Violence, University of Murcia (2023); winner in the VI UMUEmprende Talent Business Idea Contest organized by Santander Universities and the Murcia Region Entrepreneurship Office (2023), in the category “Most Promising Business Idea” with the project: Accessible Art: Breaking Visual Barriers in the Art World; selection for the 15th “Mulier Mulieris” Visual Arts Call at the University of Alicante (2024); and finalist in the Rendibú Art Competition organized by La Verdad newspaper in the podcast and short story categories (2024).

In 2017 and 2018, I co-directed the course Internet, Art, and Social Commitment at the International University of the Sea, Campus of Excellence Mare Nostrum. Additionally, between 2015 and 2019, I directed the virtual artistic residencies program @twIn_sonora for the International Sound and Interactive Art Showcase IN-SONORA based in Madrid.

Since 2015, I have been teaching in official undergraduate and postgraduate programs (Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and Official Master’s Degree in Artistic Production and Management). At the same time, I have participated in numerous university teaching training courses and in more than twenty specialization courses. During this period, I have also been involved in various research projects, including the R&D project Public Space and Social Fabric (HAR2015-66288-C4-4-P) and the R&D project The Neighborhood as a Scenario for Critical Pedagogies and Collaborative Art (PGC2018-094351-B-C42). Currently, I am part of the research project Collective and Contextual Artistic Practices in Local Environments: Pathways to Social Inclusion Amid Global Crisis (PID2023-149171OB-100).
