He works in the restoration of monuments, farmhouses and historic houses, developing his own designs and using the original techniques and materials.

 

Designs and makes trophies for various competitions.

In the artist's words 

With the experience of recent years in international symposia and having made monumental sculptures in public spaces, I have been able to appreciate with great satisfaction how the neighbours get visitors of the area where I work are involved with the creative process.

 

For example, during the realization of the last work in stone that I did in the "Art al Carrer" festival held in Sant Adrià de Besòs, in addition to having constant monitoring by the neighbours, the process generated real gatherings around the work and many people got involved in such a way with my work, that they spent their time discussing the possibilities of finishing and even the name that the work should haf. I consider this

something extraordinary because the response of the public exceeded my expectations and

also that of the organizers of the event.
