A painter by training, he Artworked in mural painting and stained glass and came into contact with the world of tapestry through the former Casa Aymat factory in Sant Cugat. He was the one who introduced the renewal of tapestry art throughout Spain, doing so from this factory and from the artistic section he directed from 1957 to 1970. There, the Catalan School of Tapestry was created, and from it emerged the renewal and new concepts of art in this discipline. In addition to his Artwork in the field of textiles, his creations also lean towards painting, creating many collages and assemblages, in which the fabric plays a prominent role. From 1992 he lived in Saint Mathurin Sur Loire – Angers – (France).
