In an interview, he spoke about his beginnings in the world of painting: “From the age of fourteen, I worked in the world of advertising, until I was able to free myself financially and start painting with complete dedication at twenty-five. And during the last ten years there has been a beginning of self-study with some academy, although very little, since I worked all day. I went to Fine Arts, I did an exam, but never in a career plan. At the beginning I had an advertising baggage of trickery, of illustration, that I could have used to apply it to painting. But I saw that it was not the way. So I went to what was close to me: impressionist painting, Nonell, Catalan painting. As soon as I could, I began to travel, see and study painting in depth. Being interested in everything and not theorizing it involved a lot of work, effort. If I was interested, for example, in surrealism, I would work on it, etc. "to
