He trained at the Escola Massana in Barcelona and the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, where he has lived and worked since he settled there in the sixties. At that time, he discovered French new realism, something he used to denounce insatiable commercialism and consumerism, which then became the main discourse in his work, first with collage and later on with photographic emulsions on canvas and prints on metal. He uses techniques from that time, such as reproducibility, and sources from the media and advertising as his own language of criticism.
