"... from his beginnings, seduced by the states of organic reality, more than by the artifices of abstraction, he was able to instruct with determination a concise and modulated work based on the metamorphoses of the human body. Freed from the imposed norms by the constraints of the block, now aware of its powers and its objectives, its process is then constituted in an interpretation that is both free and measured of the figure, where the velvety of the curves, the accuracy of the falls and the slipped articulation of the connections, adjoin the rigor of the structural arrangements".
