About Me

Academic researcher in the field of epistemology (philosophy), taking specially the ineffable aspect of the mystical experience and the sublime of art as my main subjects. Editor and writer of an art magazine and a journal of sciences of religion. I also write and organize groups for shamanic meditation. I´m quiet and behaved, but at the same time sociable, solicitous and quite open to things, places, people and subjects... specially those that are not usual or common sense.
