As a child, he moved to the capital and worked in his father's architecture studio, where he trained in avant-garde art. He enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando and continued his training in France, Italy and England. Around 1942, thanks to Benjamín Palencia, he participated in the Second School of Vallecas, a group that would serve as the basis for the Madrid School. During this period, his style evolved from initial Cubism to Expressionism. He was invited to the Venice Biennale on several occasions (1940, 1950, 1952 and 1954), participated in several national fine arts exhibitions in Madrid, in group and individual exhibitions, etc. In 1993, he founded the School of Figurative Painters of El Escorial. His work is preserved in several private collections and in institutions such as the Reina Sofía Art Center, the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts, etc. -
