He began his artistic career in the 1960s, presenting his works in the art salons of Campinas. Among the most relevant exhibitions in which he participated, the following stand out: in 1967, the XVI Salão Paulista de Arte Moderna and the IX Bienal de São Paulo; In 1968, the I Salão do Jovem (Campinas) and the XVII Salão Paulista de Arte Moderna. Between 1967 and 1975, he was awarded the Itamarati Acquisition Award (1971 and 1975) and participated in several editions of the current Brazilian art panorama at MAM/SP, São Paulo, between 1971 and 1989.
