His family moved to Seville, a city that would mark much of his career, both personal and professional, not leaving (except on specific occasions) until his last day. From an early age his virtue for the arts was apparent and thus his studies leaned towards this field. In 1940 he finished his studies at the School of Arts and Crafts to continue them in 1942 at the Superior School of Fine Arts of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Seville. In 1946 he already had the title of Professor by the Superior School of Fine Arts. His work, it is not limited to the field of painting and drawing, which on the other hand is the most abundant. He also devoted himself continuously to engraving and graphic design, his work as a poster artist being very remarkable; He also dedicated himself to sculpture and poetry, which is so evident in his work and vice versa. In 1951 by opposition he achieved the position of Professor of drawing and engraving for this same school where he will continue to evolve until he obtained the 'Cátedra de Colorido' in 1961.

In 1983 he obtained the title of Doctor of Fine Arts and in 1989 he was appointed Professor Emeritus of the University of Seville. His works reach international fame reaching as far away as Paris, London, New York, Washington, Brussels, Rome, Florence and so on.
