Two years later, opened the mythical sala Aixelà with the exposure TMMII that I was going to start the renovation of the photography in Spain. In 1959, he moved his residence to Galicia, a land that was inspired by his rural world intact and his way of understanding the religion in the collective rituals. Since then he has participated in many editorial projects and exhibitions, both in Spain and abroad. Its international projection has been growing out of the hand of Christian Caujolle and the agency parisian Vú’. His photograph, of a great thematic coherence and formal, has a character that makes it identifiable, even taking into account the diversity of the series that has been produced throughout his career.
