In Montevideo he joined the group known as 'Paul Cezanne' whose aim was to break with established canons. In 1955 he returned to Spain after receiving the Grand Prize at the Montevideo Biennial. Together with other artists of the time such as Antonio Saura and Rafael Canogar, he founded the 'El Paso' group in 1957. During these years he produced busts and large-scale portraits such as that of Unamuno, Galdós and Marañón. In 1967 he presented his series 'Men with door', which was exhibited in New York and Toronto. In the 1980s he received numerous accolades.
