De Aguas studied contemporary photography in Barcelona and became Cyborg Foundation's artist in residence in 2016.[6] In 2017, he co-founded the Transpecies Society,[7] an association that gives voice to people who do not identify as being 100% human and raises awareness on issues they face.[8] The association, based in Barcelona, offers workshops specialized in the design and creation of new senses and organs.[9]

De Aguas has shared his experience as a cyborg artist by performing and speaking in conferences and festivals in Germany, UK, Romania, Spain and The Netherlands among others.[10]
