The drawings from the early years are interesting because they attest the particular character of his art, with a strong and ironic line, always poised between painting and sculpture.

The artist has always loved drawing, which represented the first form of listening to inspiration.

He always went around with a notepad and a pencil, ready to capture on paper faces, panoramas and situations that struck him.

He left several sketches and drawings which he then used to create his works.
