However, at age twenty one, he decided to study at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda" because of his interest in drawing.
In 1970, he won first place in painting at the annual competition of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana, whose technical council he joined in 1971.
While in Europe, he traveled to countries such as Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Greece, Turkey, the former Yugoslavia and the Netherlands.
He received a second grant to return to Paris from 1980 to 1982 to write a thesis called “La pintura mural Mexicana y sus aportes contemporaneous en otros paises,” related to his interest in urban art.
His works can be found in public and private collections such as those of the Museo de Arte Moderno and the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris.
