He began his training at La Llotja, the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, and while still very young was a student of Eduard Pagès and shortly afterwards of E. Arnau. He was a member of the El Rovell de l´Ou (The Egg Yolk) group.
He exhibited for the first time at the Barcelona Fine Arts Exhibition in 1894 and a few years later went to Paris with some friends of his, including M. Pidelaserra and P. Ysern. While he was in Paris he worked as a designer and sculptor, and did some work in precious metals. He returned to Barcelona in 1901 and set out on the path of a highly personal style. He shared a workshop with Xavier Nogués and joined the Association of Catalan Painters and Sculptors. For a brief period of time he was a model maker at the Temple of the Sagrada Família (1882; unfinished). His artistic career was extremely short, as in 1906 he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, but he is considered a representative of Post-Modernista sculpture.
