In 1955, he spends a couple of months in Paris, visiting the Louvre and the Jeu de Paume Museums, walking and taking sketches of the great Parisian avenues and boulevards.

The group that gathered at the café-restaurant "El Glaciar" of the Ramblas in Barcelona included Benet, Pagans, Humbert, Prim, Pruna and Alfred Figueres, among others.

Already a solid context of masses is characteristic of his paintings, and furthermore, the quiet and broad sense of the figurative and realistic composition, which his work has developed since then.

In absence of violent contrast and supported by the Mediterranean conception of light and colour it is remarkable in his career the constant maturation of an almost gestual modulation techniques of form and volume based upon brush strokes full of impasto.

Pagans i Monsalvatje sees painting as a personal interpretation of the artist but capable of arriving to the onlooker through a never-ending state of crisis between knowledge and the feeling of reality.
