In his artistics beginnings, between 1949 and 1953, he was influenced by the American comic artist Alex Raymond, creator of Flash Gordon.[3] The panel, he said, began his connection with artistic expression.

In the 1960s he began working for the textile industry in Barcelona, where he created series of gouache with influences of geometric constructivism, with plant motifs and other ornamental arts of Northern Europe and the Soviet Union, places he visited in this decade.

From the 1970s left the world of stamping and started a figurative oil painting with surrealist infiltrations in dialogue with a type of very personal magic realism and began to exhibit at various galleries.
