In 1929, he was sent by the Ministry of Knowledge () to Czechoslovakia, then to Germany and Italy to what seems to have been a shift in his career perhaps as potential teacher in the Applied Arts. He studied techniques for the decoration of glass vessels. Always fascinated by fine arts, he has added learning of classical painting and anatomy to this by attending the nightly courses in the L'Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. It seems that this was in the hands of a professor DiStefani who was highly praised by the painter at the time. His career was back to painting as a specialist in oil painting, human body anatomy, and classical structures and arts.
