In 1872, he enrolled at the "Academia das Belas-Artes" (now part of the University of Lisbon), where he studied under António da Silva Porto. He graduated six years later. In 1881, he held his first exhibition at the Lisbon Geographic Society. Later, he exhibited more widely, including displays at the "Sociedade Promotora de Belas-Artes", the Artists' Guild and the "Sociedade Nacional de Belas-Artes". He was also a member of the "Lion's Group", an informal association of artists and writers who met in the Golden Lion Tavern with the goal of promoting Naturalism in the arts.

In 1884, he became a Professor at the "Escola Industrial Afonso Domingues" (named after a 14th-century architect), where he was later promoted to Director. In 1912, he served on a government commission to establish new curricula for commercial and industrial education in the primary and secondary schools. Two years later, he inaugurated the new system at the "Escola de Desenho Industrial de Setúbal".
