He studied at La Llotja, the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, as a pupil of Rossend Nobas and then went to Paris, where he trained with Carrier-Belleuse, and later to Rome. In his early period he participated in making some of the monuments belonging to the first stages of Modernisme, such as the Monument to Josep Anselm Clavé (1889; Passeig de Sant Joan - Travessera de Gràcia), in collaboration with the architect J. Vilaseca. Later on, his sculptural language was characterised by a formal realism in works of serene expressiveness, as can be seen in the Bust of Pepita Teixidor (1917; Parc de la Ciutadella). He received a great many commissions to make portraits and sculptures used in architecture, in which he always displayed an extremely personal style.
He devoted himself to teaching as a professor and director of La Llotja, the Barcelona School of Fine Arts.
