In 1958, he travels to Uruguay and joins the abstract painting group of "Grupo de los Once" that included Lincoln Presno, Pareja, Esposito, Pavlovsky, Berdié Testoni, Páez Vilaró and Garcia Reino. He later travels throughout South and North America, establishing himself in Lima in 1963, Caracas in 1974 and later Paris, New York in 1983 and Miami in 1996. His major exhibitions include: OAS, Washington DC, 1967; Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas, 1978; Donald Wren Gallery, New Cork, 1987; Biblioteca Nacional de Buenos Aires, 1994.
