Segrelles trained in Valencia at the San Carlos School and the Vicente Barreira Academy, and began his career as an illustrator and draftsman for various publishing houses. In 1967, he was selected by the National Association of Fine Arts to exhibit in New York and Copenhagen, and in the 1970s he received two fellowships, one for Madrid and another for Laayoune. As early as the 1960s, he exhibited his work throughout Spain in numerous solo exhibitions, and beginning in the following decade, he also exhibited in other European countries, as well as in Australia, Japan, the U.S., Jordan, and elsewhere. A member of the Accademia Internazionale Greci-Marino in Italy, he has been awarded the First Prize for Outdoor Painting by the City of Valencia, the Medal for Artistic Merit from the Ministry of Information and Tourism, the First Karman Prize in Seville, the Barcelona Provincial Council Award, and the Villa de Pego International Award and Gold Medal. His work is currently on display at the Castillo de Larrés Drawing Museum in Huesca.
