Life
The son of parents who worked in the cork industry was recognized as an artist by his teachers. He took evening classes at the local School of the Arts, and at 16 got his first job in the workshop of master blacksmith Joan Gich. The first public exhibition of his works was in 1955 at the Library of Palafrugell, driven by his teacher Lluís Medir Jofra.
Later his works were exhibited in the library and other centers in the city. Since 1958 he took part in national and international events and won several prizes. In the 1960s, several companies employed him as a technical engineer, teaching evening classes at the School of Arts and Crafts in Palafrugell, replacing his teacher. In 1966 he enrolled at the School of Industrial Engineers in Barcelona .
Until 1971 he lived in Barcelona, where he had his first studio, and enrolled as a listener at the School of Fine Arts, where he met artists like Martinez Lozano . He returned to Palafrugell in 1972 to devote himself entirely to painting. In the following years he exhibited his work in various galleries across Catalonia and Spain, including Barcelona's Sala Rovira , and won awards in various national and international competitions.
