In 1901 he moved to Mallorca and initially settled in Sa Calobra, where he created some of his most important images. Some of his paintings are in the museum, it Baluart in Palma de Mallorca issued. This phase of his work had great influence on the murals, which he carried out in the Casa Avel · lí Trinxet in Barcelona, ​​the house of his uncle and patron, the industrialist Avel · lí Trinxet.
