He currently lives and works between this city and his native Barcelona. He debuted in 1983 at the Carlos Lozano gallery in Cadaqués, and in 1986 he made the international leap by holding a solo exhibition at the Limbo Gallery in New York. That same year he held another personal exhibition at the Sala Vincon in Barcelona, and the following year he did so at the René Métras in the same city. Also in 1987 he participated in the group exhibition “Catalan art”, traveling through Philadelphia, Boston, New York and Boca Raton. In 1990 he took part in the Art Fair of Chicago and the Art Expo of Tokyo, in 1994 at ARCO in Madrid and in 1995 at the LACE in Los Angeles.
