When he was seventeen, he won the “A la pintura Jove” prize from the Sala Parés and soon afterwards he received a grant from the Cercle Maillol at the Institut Français de Barcelona which allowed him to study art in Paris. Informalism and the austere Terra Alta countryside of Horta de Sant Joan inspired him to create grey, dark and fantastical landscapes which occasionally featured organic forms or humans.

He enjoyed much success in the sixties and held many exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris, Lyon and Germany.
