His work is present in more than twenty museums around the world, and retrospective exhibitions have been held in Houston and Berlin, Madrid and Caracas, London and Palermo. His sculptures are found facing the sea as in San Sebastián, or on the mountain as in Japan, and in cities such as Washington, Paris, Lund, Munster, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Guernica or Berlin. Architects, mathematicians, philosophers like Martín Heideggeer and Emile Cioran, or poets like Octavio Paz have written about his work.
