Pablo began exhibiting in national and international art shows in 1946, for which he was recognized numerous times with awards and distinctions.
As both a teacher and the Dean of the Culture Department, he shared his vision and his techniques for more than 30 years at Argentina’s National School of Fine Arts, training many of Argentina’s established artists there or, otherwise, in his private studio.
He was both a founding and honorary member of the Argentine Centre of Ceramic Art, and served as an advisor to Argentina’s National Ministry of Culture.
He created several monumental works and murals for both public and private spaces.
Much of his art is held in important private collections, as well as in numerous museums, in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom and the United States.
