Juste graduated in Art History from the University of Granada in 1979. Throughout his career, he has received a number of grants: in 1982 he was the recipient of a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Culture, in 1985 one from the Joint Spanish-American Committee for Educational and Cultural Affairs in New York, and in 1986 one from Casa de Velazquez in Madrid.

His first solo exhibition took place in 1970 at Caja de Ahorros de Granada. Later, he has exhibited internationally, in New York and Copenhagen, although it is in Spain where his work is particularly appreciated.

Settled in Granada, he has developed his career as an artist in that city, apart from promoting art initiatives through his support for the Laguada and Palace galleries. His style derived from American
, assimilated through Spanish artists like José Guerrero, Zóbel and Ràfols-Casamada, moving from abstraction to a figurative reference in his scenic views of cities.
