Known for his paintings and illustrations, he entered the art world in the early 50's. Years later he was linked to the textile industry, turning his pictorial work on canvas. He used gouaches that he later printed on clothes. During the 70's he began to work exclusively with oil painting, focusing his attention on his work, which he introduced to the market through several exhibitions in various galleries. His work is defined by a figurative aesthetic language, which is influenced by styles such as surrealism and magical realism. In his first stage his work was aesthetically linked to the comic book artist Alex Raymond, although later he was nourished by other currents such as geometric constructivism, which he abandoned in pursuit of figuration.
