When he was only 20, he started working for an interior designer who according to the artist, "Has influenced my way of drawing, with more and more straight, parallel and intermingling lines".

His work have a pencil like character and superimposing straight lines of great intensity. "What I'm looking for is the best trait, the perfect diamont", he insists. He is not limited by "freestyle" improvisation guides his hand. Spontaneity and randomness conduct the construction of virtous figurative elements.

Numerous projects have been added to his street art: several exhibitions in galleries..... the Mayor of Limours assigned him his first job the signage of the new theater. He also coordinated his first exhibition, which was very succesful: 30 canvases were exhibited, and 23 sold. An eternal vagabond (Montreal, Paris, Hong Kong have been marked by his passage), the artist wishes to "offer the possibility of traveling to his spectators".
