He's also the author of several pieces of modern public sculpture, being the most famous, his statue of Sebastian of Portugal, inaugurated in 1973, in Lagos. This work marks the end of the academic historical sculpture of the Estado Novo, and the beginning of a new era of contemporaneity in the Portuguese public sculpture.
