He took his first steps at the School of Fine Arts in Seville with Teodoro Aramburu, Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer and Eduardo Cano. After a brief period in Madrid in 1880, and with the help of the banker Ramón de Ibarra, he travelled to Rome where he fell under the influence of José Villegas Cordero. In Italy he travelled painting in the south of the peninsula and in the Veneto.
For The Return from Fishing in Naples he was awarded a second medal at the National Fine Arts in 1884. That same year he won the same award at the International in Munich. He was also present at the Exhibition of the Centre of Watercolourists in Barcelona and at the Fifth International Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1907.
