From 1973 and 1977, he participated in independent theatre groups, creating one of the first fan cinemas in the city and painted his first posters.

He travelled all around Italy, France and Spain and entered San Carlos School of Fine Arts (Valencia) in 1979, where he took his degree. Two years later, he was included at 'Centenario Picasso' Exhibition and exhibited his works in Valencia with the groups 'Glop' and 'Tolerados y Cómplices'.

In 1992, he established his studio in A Coruña. His work was well accepted by critics and galleries all around Galicia, Madrid, Majorca, New York, Porto and Valencia with over thirty individual and collective exhibitions.
