He attended Stevens Institute of Technology for a year and his experience with architecture might have contributed to the role played by architectural themes in his paintings and watercolors. While studying in Europe he mastered a type of watercolor where he achieved an abstract ambience, almost a pure abstraction with color that ranges from transparency to translucency, accompanied by strong opacities, and linear elements, always with a sense of freedom, which became one of his trademarks.
