Having, studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes, Plásticas, , he developed his distinct approach, diverging from the politically charged murals of his contemporaries to explore more personal and universal themes. His bold colours, simplified forms and unusual combinations of imagery, allowed him to gain, international acclaim in the 1930s and 1940s, with exhibitions in New York, Paris and other major cities.
