Painter and watercolorist of self-taught formation, he begins artistically of the hand of the members of the Pont de Fusta, group of Valencian watercolorists, among which were Miguel Verchili, López Tebar, José Estellés, Máñez Llorca and Manuel Escuín. His work shows the theme of the landscape of different cities, working mainly the Mediterranean coast, the orchard of the Valencian territory, as well as representing traditional scenes such as port works. All this, he works from a neoimpressionist aura in which "plenairist" influences of the great local masters of the beginning of the century can be seen. He has received several awards for his artistic work, such as the First Prize in the Fast Painting Contest of Valencia.
