In 1954 he moved to Paris where he continued working as a wall painter, until in 1958 the Drouand David gallery discovered his artistic facet and his career as a graphic artist began and he became internationally known.

In 1963 he returned to Spain and settled in Seville, finally settling in 1972 in his native Castellón after having resided in various places across our geography. In 2010 he settled in his current residence of "Mas de Flors".
