In 1963 he set up his studio in Bagneux, began painting in 1965 and decided in 1970 to devote himself to painting entièremment.

Jewish humor, brightness of the East, pride and Iberian tragedy inexorably weave the fabric of his writing. The concern, the difficulty of being, we find them in the form of the body to the variable and uncertain anatomy. The ramoniennes figures are polymorphic but this feature is not random. They occupy very different pictorial space without leaving too much freedom. "Private speech, they remain their shape and color. And then they become very talkative" said art critic Philippe Daviaud.
