His best known work is the portal at the Palace of the Marqués de Dos Aguas, from an architectural design by Hipólito Rovira [es].

Other notable works, all in stone, include the "Angels Venerating Mary" at Valencia Cathedral, several works at the Iglesia de las Escuelas Pías [es], a statue of saint Anthony the Great at the Iglesia de San Martín y San Antonio [es] and one of Saint Bruno in the chapel at the University of Valencia.
