After exhibiting his works at the University of Concepción and seeking to perfect his technique, he traveled to Europe in 1961. Captivated by the classical realist school of the great masters, he decided to settle in Madrid, Spain, where he gained fame as a portraitist of the European high nobility and aristocracy. By the mid-1960s, his portraits gave way to striking still lifes. Everyday objects from modern life and seemingly simple objects, such as stones and wrappings, dazzled the viewer when they were brought to the canvas with meticulous realism. The artist had taken his technique to the limits of perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 1972, he settled in Tangier, Morocco.
