Nourished by his numerous travels, he dedicated thirty years of his life to painting and sculpture, multiplying the supports: poems-objects on ancient canvas, cork, cardboard, raw canvas, paper, metal.

It represents the simple things in life, revealing a fascination for the human figure, in particular for the female body and its language. The year 1988 marks a turning point. After a serious car accident, in which he lost his 10-year-old daughter, Otalia, he transformed all his work. In 2006, he opened his studio in the Gers countryside of Vic-Fezensac where he would spend the rest of his life. His works are exhibited in galleries in France, Italy, the United States and Germany.
