“From 1980 to 2017, I happily worked alongside the artist Simone Couderc.

My themes: - Nature: the sun, the fields, the energy that comes from the earth, communicated to the minerals, which are transformed into plants, into beings close to humans - The Arlésian dances: stylization of movements in column, in round ,… In freedom - The architecture of religious buildings: cloisters, arches, cupolas, curves and ridges and sections of curves and ridges, refuges and passages.
