After training in painting, drawing, sculpture and engraving, in the first years of his artistic activity (1940s) he made some painting and mosaic works in his native land that remain in the hermitage of Sant Measure or in the parish church. of Sant Genís. In the 1950s he joined the carpet and tapestry company, Casa Aymat de Miquel Samaranch, where he became artistic director and worked with artists such as Joan Miró, Josep Maria Subirachs or Antoni Tàpies.
