He was born in Medina de Rio Seco into a family of artists of Flemish descent, probably from the town of 's-Hertogenbosch, dedicated to carving and assembly, and his brothers were also sculptors. He moved to Cuellar in 1580, where he opened a workshop and married Ana Velazquez, with whom he had two children.
