Artist formed within a colorful and imaginative line, whose works are not expressionism, primitivism or modernism, but a linear and colorful invoice, without the need to reach the subjectivism to complete his works.
He begins to exhibit in 1969 being very well received by the public thanks to his naïf painting full of color and imagination, through which he represents paradisiacal scenes with a great communicative force. He exhibited at the Biennial of Contemporary Painting in Barcelona (1975), as well as at the School of Arts and Crafts in Valencia that same year, at the Nonell Gallery in Castellón (1976), at the Sala Goya de España in Paris (1979).
During his career, he has been awarded several prizes and recognitions such as the First Prize XIX Salón de Otoño de Valencia (1973), Bronze Medal Primer Salón de Primavera de pintura y Escultura de Valencia (1974), Medal V Bienal Internacional del Deporte en las Bellas Artes, Madrid (1976), Silver Medal Prix Suisse in Kasper Morges Gallery, International Naïf Painting to the best work presented by Spain (1981).
His work is kept in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Villafamés in Castellón, in the Museum of International Naïf Art Anatole Jakoski in Nice (France), in the International Museum of Naïf Art Guimaráes in Portugal, or in the Museum d'Art Naïf, S.A. in Figueres.
