Co-founder of the experimental art group “Equipo 57”, he belongs to the “Gaur Group” of the Basque School together with the sculptors Mendiburu, Oteiza and Chillida. His work is determined by a constant desire for experimentation and research that encompasses and raises the attention of different aesthetic disciplines, such as painting, sculpture, cinema, design, etc. He held personal exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions of avant-garde art in Spain, European capitals and South America. As a sculptor he was selected for the VI Biennial of São Paulo (Brazil).
“My thing is to work on the knowledge of the aesthetic entity in its different manifestations, the interrelationships that exist between them, their possibilities and servitude: to use them as working tools, each one in the terms of its greatest expressive effectiveness”. (Néstor Basterretxea)
