These are some of his most important paintings: ‘Alborada de Veiga’, ‘O queixo de San Simón’, ‘As damas de Sargadelos’, ‘Os paxaros pelegris’, ‘Un galego limpiando a capa de ozono’ (he reflects Galician themes in all these works) and ‘Sueño con un regreso a Cuba’, ‘El Quijote y Sancho’, ‘La boda en una cueva gitana’, ‘El tambor de barlovento’ and ‘El manco de Zaché con los cuatro de a pie’.
