He majored in Law at the University of Barcelona and later on, in 1963 he got his degree in Business Management at IESE, University of Navarra

In the summer of 1945, he was out of Barcelona and had no canvases where to paint. He found the cover pages of a stamp album of Nestlé chocolate. It was cardboard covered with blue cloth. He managed to make a prime and concluded his first painting with success. It is the inlet of Santa Cristina (Costa Brava, Spain). Because of the origin of his “canvas” he named it Playa Nestlé (Nestlé Beach). This oil painting was sold to acquaintances of his parents’. It was recovered years later in exchange to one of his sculptures.

He pursued his painting and achieved his first sales.
