His sister educates him without financial means to give him access to school and the possibility of learning to read and write. At the dawn of 1958, he decided to move to Marseilles and worked as a baker. Two years later, he took the road to the French capital. Gifted with his hands and his voice, he fashions sculptures and at the same time composes, writes and performs songs until recording two 45 rpm records with Pathé Marconi. A wealthy American is challenged by his work, she takes him to the United States, marries him and propels his career internationally.

Between intervals, he composes 3D works in paper mache, which are unique, intriguing and bewitching, with a lot of care, passion and rigor. A true demiurge, he transposes his clay in charcoal in the form of a bird, fish or a flower. His baker profession helps him in this artistic process: firstly he uses his hands to give body to the form and the bakes the dough. He adds colors to his artistic creations which is aesthetically pleasing.
