He made his first Individual exposition in 1975 at the Liszt Gallery in Paris and the following year the Toyota company dedicated him an exposition.

He quickly became part of the world of sports by making several posters that he created for the Open Golf Peugeot, The Perrier Tournament, The World Polo Championship, The French Rugby Stadium and the Formula 1 Grand Prix. His works have earned him the nickname of "painter of movement".
