As an artist, he has held solo exhibitions at institutions including Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, the Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales of the CSIC, MUSAC in León and Galería Cero in Madrid. His work has also been shown in numerous group exhibitions at international venues such as IMPAKT (Utrecht), Arts Diorama (London), Goethe Institut (Beijing), Charim Gallery (Vienna) and Sazmanab (Tehran), as well as at leading Spanish venues such as LABoral, Fabra i Coats, Sala de Arte Joven and Casa Velázquez.
In academia, he has published research in journals such as Inmaterial, Artnodes, Dynamis, European Journal of Anatomy, Accesos, Re-visiones and Open Platform for Art, Culture & The Public Domain. His work addresses issues such as scientific imagery, regimes of representation, the relationship between art and philosophy, and the political and social role of the contemporary image.
