He first trained with the sculptor Gregorio Aragon Mesa. He was the founder of a Drawing Academy (1714-1739) in the city of Zaragoza, and by the end of the War of the Spanish Succession was considered one of the best Aragonese sculptors of the eighteenth century. Most of his works are preserved in the La Seo Cathedral.
