His artistic output included vigorous drawings and oil paintings featuring portraits, cafe scenes, and urban landscapes of Italy and Spain. He worked with various mediums, such as:
- Conté, graphite, charcoal, and pastel
- Watercolour and gouache
- Woodcut reproduction through a xylographic style
- Book illustrations for authors including Maurice Donnay and Octave Mirbeau
Theatrical Contributions and Associations

- Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec: A close friend and frequent companion.
- Ignacio Zuloaga: A fellow student and future brother-in-law.
