This painter, a member of the group of artists known as Els Negres (The Black Ones), materialised in his works the wish to capture squalid and dark aspects of life, as was typical of the artists belonging to this group.
He was a great admirer of the painter I. Nonell, whose work, which also depicted the life of gypsies, exerted a considerable influence on him in his early period. He later spent a time in France, where he achieved a lot of success and recognition as an artist, and became good friends with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. He was a friend of Picasso, with whom he shared a studio in Barcelona.
