Having achieved a solid foundation in drawing and longing for the smell of turpentine, he picks up on the abandoned brushes of his student days and explores all the themes and styles he likes, without feeling any pressure to force him to cultivate a certain topic.
He has work in France, Italy, the USA and Japan as well as Catalonia and Spain.

As a cultural promoter he performs:
-The Torroella de Montgrí fast painting contest on an annual basis.
-He organized the Ullà Art Show in 2011.
-The four editions of the Pleinair Festival.

He is a member of the artistic movement "9art" of Girona

He currently paints every day in his studio or outdoors.

For more than 15 years I have been painting wood recovered from rural areas, wood from collapsed farmhouses where the floor was made of wood and once the roof was damaged, the wood worked over time has taken on forms that they are very attractive to me and serve as a magnificent background for painting.
In order to solve the problems inherent in wood, especially weight and corks, pictorial research has led me to a logical evolution: painting old wood on canvas as a background and painting the motif on top.
This solution gives me a surprising originality, which allows me to paint any theme for the same exhibition, as it is always tied to the background of old wood.
Painting on antique wood gives me my pictorial stamp.
Obviously, the appearance of a painting on real wood has nothing to do with wood painted on a canvas, but it has many advantages:
-The canvas must not be dewormed and do not leave dust.
-You don't have to dye the wood, I can paint it the color you want.
-I can paint wood of any size and shape without being conditioned by the size of the wood I have recovered.
-The canvas weigh much less and can be transported rolled up.
-A wood on a stone wall is too integrated, they are better on a white wall, when painted on canvas it acts as a frame for the wood and this causes it to separate into stone walls.
-The fact of painting the wood in a realistic way gives more value to the painting.

Without abandoning realism at all, he is currently continuing to explore new avenues along the same lines to achieve new effects.
I’ve come to realize that I can paint even the hardest part of painting abstraction.
There’s a lot of intrusion in this field, I’ve never wanted to do an abstraction based on standing in front of the canvas and starting throwing splashes of color.
One of my headlines, "From the Spiritual in Art," by the great Kandinsky, inspired me, but I managed to escape a bad imitation by incorporating three-dimensional elements.
I combine figuration and abstraction in the same painting, achieving a unique and original work.
I can define these paintings as Three-Dimensional Figurative Abstractions.
What I look for in my paintings is the harmonization of shapes, creating consonances with a composition based on the balance of both shapes and colors. I use regular geometric shapes and free wavy lines and make them vibrate and tense to try to express pleasant sensations, peace, tranquility, order, tenacity, intonation…
The incorporation of three-dimensional elements gives the work a disconcerting realism within the abstraction that provokes contrasting feelings.
The compositions of counterweights of shapes and colors on an old wooden background made with great realism, surprise the viewer and invite him to recreate the sight and relax the mind. They are images that excite those who contemplate them and transmit a whole set of positive sensations accentuated by the wooden background, which always acts as a distensioner.
