His creative interests and multiple ways of investigating the human psyche have found him in person with Jodorowsky several years ago, opening windows to a path of knowledge and syncretic training between the sacred and the profane, audiovisual poetry, deep listening and the language of the unconscious.
He worked alongside Cristóbal Jodorowsky as a musician and assistant in plays, there he lived through a rigorous theatrical montage process crossed at all times by psychomagic and arcane knowledge.
