Fernando was born in Madrid.
He has always maintained an intimate relationship with nature and music. From a young age, he practiced climbing in a mountaineering club. Mountain outings became part of his daily life, along with risk-taking and sharing experiences.
Since the age of eight, he has been trained at a music school. At first, he studied classical piano, then jazz guitar, and later moved toward experimental and electronic music.
After high school, he continued to explore abstract questions and the limits of understanding. He spent five years studying Mathematics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. During this time, he also discovered university associative life, including involvement in the 15M movement within the Indignados, a climbing club, LGBTQ+ collectives, and various social circus projects that filled his life outside academia.
At the end of his studies, still in a state of sensory and existential questioning, he turned to circus as a perfect blend of sport and artistic practice. In 2015, he was accepted into the École de Cirque de Bordeaux, specializing in rope discipline. There, he discovered the artistic worlds that had been missing in his university life, as well as disciplines connected to circus such as dance and puppetry. He also trained with Claire Heggen, who introduced him to a new vision of puppetry through Théâtre du Mouvement.
He was deeply affected by this new approach, which pushed the limits of imagination.
In 2017, he entered the second year at the Centre national des arts du cirque. There he met Pablo Peñailillo, who became his rope partner, and together they created the collective “Knot Out (K.O).” They share a dynamic artistic vocabulary, Spanish language, and a common desire to create a joint artistic project.
He continues his interdisciplinary research between circus and puppetry.
