At the end of his studies, when he obtained a national diploma in sculpture and visual arts, he specialized in two different techniques: pastel and sculpture. He then met Jean Carton, Georges Hilbert and Raimond Martin, with whom he formed a group of young sculptors, under the expert supervision of Paul Belmondo.
