He also worked alongside Josep Llimona and Josep Montserrat, always alongside his brother Llucià, who was also a sculptor. Throughout his career, Oslé participated in numerous official exhibitions and competitions, receiving an honorable mention at the 1896 National Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona, first prize at the 1907 edition, and the same award at the 1906 exhibition in Madrid.
