He tries his hand at gouache and watercolor, but will not find his way until much later. Crossroads led him to agriculture, building trades, comics and stone bas-reliefs. He eventually settles into a form of sculpture that has always seemed obvious to him. “We are living in a pivotal period which makes and will make appear in reality hybrid and monstrous beings of mythology. Even mountain cows are nothing more than milk machines. »Combining nature and technical civilization, his mecha-animals reflect the interweaving between nature and man. They reflect the worry of the ever-possible monstrosity but exude a sense of power that modern technology seems to offer. He is currently working in his workshop in Touraine. It is exhibited in the Opera Gallery in, Paris, Singapore, Miami, Hong Kong, London, Geneva, Seoul, Monaco, Dubai, as well as at the Shanghai Sculpture Space and yet remains little known in France.
