Predominantly recognized as a self-taught painter, he also worked in architectural murals, sculptures, ceramics, prints and drawings.
Vigas is one of Venezuela’s best-known painters and a seminal figure that validated the cultural heritage of the Americas, affirming the importance of revising his own Latin American roots along with a global perspective in the arts. From a very young age, Vigas had already begun showcasing his paintings and illustrations and had participated in several painting salons and exhibitions.
He graduated from the School of Medicine in 1951, although he never practiced. He devoted himself

exclusively to his artistic career for the rest of his life.
