Falero is in Granada gebore en het oorspronklik 'n loopbaan in die Spaanse vloot gevolg, but gave it up to his parents’ disappointment. He traveled on foot to Paris, waar hy kuns studeer het, chemie en meganiese ingenieurswese.
The experiments which he had to conduct in the latter two were dangerous, leading him to decide to focus on painting alone. He was a student of Gabriel Ferrier. Na Parys, he studied in London, where he eventually settled.
Falero het 'n besondere belangstelling in sterrekunde gehad en hemelse konstellasies in baie van sy werke opgeneem, such as “The Marriage of a Comet” en “Twin Stars”. Sy belangstelling en kennis van sterrekunde het hom ook daartoe gelei om die werke van Camille Flammarion te illustreer.
In 1896, die jaar van sy dood, Maud Harvey het Falero vir vaderskap gedagvaar. Die saak het beweer dat Falero Harvey verlei het toe sy was 17, eers as sy huishulp dien, and then model. Toe hy ontdek sy is swanger, hy het haar ontslaan.
Sy het die saak gewen en is vyf sjielings per week toegeken ter ondersteuning van hul kind. Falero is in die Universiteitskollege-hospitaal dood, Londen, op die ouderdom van 45
