His approach is focused on the inseparable relationship between humans and their environment, this occupies a preponderant place in his work.

Today, who, the environment or humans, transforms the other? Are we going to continue to eat poorly and “do drugs" to live or return to a simpler life? Drug research is in turmoil to deal with all the new attacks our bodies are undergoing.

After inflicting a multitude of insults on our environment, it is our bodies and our state of health that go to the "checkout".

He seeks to show modified landscapes and bodies. Everything we have done to pollute the planet, we find it in the atmosphere and on our plates. Because our immune system has deteriorated, become weak and deficient, our body remains in the ditch.

His paintings and sculptures attempt to question the relationship between men and their living environment, how we transform our bodies and how our bodies undergo the transformation of the landscape. What we build to destroy ourselves surrounds us, invades us, shapes us. It questions the capacity of bodies to undergo what the environment shows us. The characters summoned embody mutant beings where everyone could nevertheless recognize themselves. When bodies and landscapes merge, he seeks to discover what remains of the face of the other today, what we do not always want to believe, what we see and what our bodies tell us.

By playing with a few rheological laws and using exclusively shades initially intended for interior decoration, but which have become undesirable, he composes with these laboratory control shades.

It is the paint material itself which is recycled or more precisely the colors.

It therefore joins forces with the chance of the currents to make a stopover on foreign shores.

Off the road the tracks fade away, similar to slow navigation.

Like walking by the water and having pleasure as the only destination.

It's a journey from bank to bank, but it seems that the one opposite is always more beautiful!
