He enrols in the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Manuel Belgrano (“National College of Fines Arts Manuel Belgrano”), where he only completes two years, because he does not feel comfortable with formal teaching.

At first, he thinks of himself as a painter and produces figurative work in the expressionist tradition. However, through his work as a commercial craftsman –he decorates and builds stands, signs, marquees and other accessories related to the world of advertising– he becomes familiar with techniques such as typography, carpentry and the moulding of plastic materials, which he will later transfer to his artistic work, abandoning painting and creating pieces in three dimensions.
