He is the recipient of several prizes, including the Luminotherapy Prize (2016-2017), the 1st Hughes-LeCaine Prize (2008) from the Socan Foundation and the 1st JTTP Prize (2009). His works have been shown in North America and South America and in Europe. With Ekumen, the production company that he led for almost 10 years, he questions the environmental impact of art. He creates works to beautify and transform public space by trying to define what it means: to live together.
