Coming from a humble background, he described the province of his country and the life of the common people in melancholy and calm tones; Winter scenes and poverty determine its language. He was influenced by Émile Zola's naturalism . He became known to a wider public in 1899 thanks to his poems Hijo del pueblo y Libertaria . In 1902 he moved to Viña del Mar as a school teacher and was able to publish in various newspapers and magazines. He was seriously injured in an earthquake in 1906.
