He began his artistic studies at the Municipal Drawing Academy under the tuition of Francisco Cayuela, later moving to Murcia to complete his training at the School of Arts and Crafts under the teaching of José Planes.
Sculptor, painter, illustrator, restorer, caricaturist and artistic director, he collaborated with the main local and regional publications of the moment and carried out works for the churches of Santiago, Carmen, San Mateo, San Patricio and the Convent of the Mercedarian Mothers.

His production as director of embroidery stands out, especially at the front of Paso Azul, of which he was artistic director for more than 30 years.
