His work, in a figurative style and with a varied theme, is characterized by a rich chromaticism. As a decorator, the scenography and costumes for the opera Carmen and El amor brujo for its premiere at the Spanish theater in Madrid stand out in his production.

In the first half of the 20th century he made paintings with landscapes of the Spanish towns he visited, such as Granada, Segovia, Arcos de la Frontera (painted regularly), Cuenca, Tosa, Aroche and Madrid. Living a good part of his life in Seville, he made numerous paintings in the city, some of which were also local landscapes. He painted four pictures of Gibraltar. His landscapes had a rural or urban theme. In the 1940s he painted pictures of Madeira. He made fourteen paintings on sailor themes. He made 48 portraits, among which there were three self-portraits; 1935, 1939 and 1955. One of his most outstanding paintings is Seville at parties, which was presented at the Seville Fine Arts Exhibition in 1916 and is currently kept in the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville. An airy, dynamic, balanced composition, extraordinarily rich in plastic strength and representative.31 Also in the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga is the Feria, another painting with a similar theme, but with a post-impressionist invoice, with a loose and energetic brushstroke, and a composition based on color.
