After college, Orfeo moved to New York and worked in photography, art writing, and at a famous bookshop and gallery in Paris called Yvon Lambert. There, he was inspired by artists like Jean-Charles Blais and David Horvitz, who used unusual materials and techniques. Orfeo was especially impressed by Horvitz's vases made from melted seaglass and the poetic orbs released into the Atlantic.

Orfeo then went to London to study at the Slade School of Fine Art. "I didn't really paint very much because I actually just didn't like painting at all," the artist confessed. Even though he didn’t like painting much, the open-minded community at Slade helped him figure out what he truly enjoyed in art. He loved the friendly atmosphere where people shared ideas and learned from each other.
