In 1958 he made polychromies for the Banco Obrero. In 1959 he traveled to Rome, where he broke with geometric painting and ventured into informalism, giving prominence to the gesture over forms; in that period he works with assemblies and collages of large format. In 1961 he participated in the Venice Biennial with Works informalists like Teddy Boy and L'operatio. Travel to Paris and work with action painting.

In 1974 he founded, together with Lucila de Oramas, the Armando Reverón Museum (Macuto, Edo Vargas), which he directed until 1977. In this museum he tries to recover the atmosphere of the Castillete and the artist's objects that, at that time, were not yet a formal collection. In 1977 he organized an important exhibition of objects of Reverón in the Emilio Boggio Museum. In 1980 temporarily occupies the position of director of the Museum Emilio Boggio as substitute.
