Returning to France in the 1950s, after a long stay in Argentina, Berroeta produced numerous cartoons in a style that was initially figurative (animals, characters, etc.) and then turned towards abstraction, as in his painting.
Exotic inspiration is recurrent in Berroeta's work, often in an allusive way: neither the animals nor the plants are definitively identifiable; together, they have an allegorical purpose.
