Fernando has been interested in aviation his whole life.  He is a sailplane and private pilot. In 1971 he graduated from Needham High School, Massachusetts, as a foreign exchange student.  After returning to Spain, he became a lawyer and completed his military service in the juridical corps of the Spanish Air Force. He had been drawing and painting since he can recall, but his true art vocation surfaced about twenty years ago.  Ever since, he has been painting only aeronautical themes.   He has held many one-man exhibitions devoted exclusively to Aviation, winning both 1st and 2nd prices at the Spanish Air Force Art Contest.   He has painted Spanish Civil War scenes that have led to limited edition prints signed by such important pilots as General Adolf Galland and Colonel Jose Marķa Bravo (top living Republican ace from the Civil War).  He cooperates with Madrid based Infante de Orleans Foundation, that is dedicated to preserving and flying old airplanes in Spain. He paints mainly in acrylics and his work can be found in public and private collections in Spain and the U.S.A. He is an ASAA Artist Fellow. His aim is to promote aviation art, making his paintings attractive to people who are not familiar with this topic.  In order to achieve this, he is composing his latest works with more or less classical renditions of aeronautical subjects along with textures and less orthodox light and color techniques
