He discovered “art brut” in Paris, and in 1976 he held his first solo museum exhibition: “Cadaverina 15” at the Museum of Mallorca, In 1986, he was awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts, and since then his work has been recognized with the most prestigious awards, such as the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts and the Sorolla Prize from the Hispanic Society of America in New York.
