He worked as a draughtsman in an advertising studio and held his first individual exhibition in 1958. He settled in Bilbao and presented several solo exhibitions in the second half of the 1960s. In 1968, he moved to Cuenca and established a close professional relationship with Antonio Lorenzo, who introduced him to engraving techniques.
