He holds one of the best photographic archives on the urban transformation of Bilbao, its industrial activity, and subsequent exodus and/or decommissioning in the area surrounding the estuary (La Naval de Sestao, Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, Cadenas Vicinay, Bilbao Port Authority, etc.). His work has been exhibited in Asia, America, Australia, and almost every European country. He has exhibited in countless museums, including the Prado Museum and the Guggenheim Bilbao.
