In 1973 and 1974, he won the First Prize at the National Grape and Wine Competition in Medina. In 1975, he received the Prize of the General Directorate of Fine Arts at the Spring Exhibition in Seville. In 1976, he was awarded the Prize of the City Council of Madrid at the Autumn Salon, among others. His recent awards include the Special Reina Sofia Prize at the Autumn Salon in Madrid (1983) and the Honorary Medals at the BMW Painting Awards (1990 and 1991). He also won the First Prize in the Army Painting Competition (1993) and the Ciudad de Tudela Prize in 1996.
