Painter of sceneries, dead natures...
After 1957, he becme Chapelain Midy's pupil in the Paris School of Art. In 1964 he succeeded in getting the Casa de Vélasquez award and stayed in Madrid until 1966. Since 1959, he participates in several expositions and gets many awards... The majority of his paintings can be seen in over 150 personnal expositions, in galeries of many French towns and in the rest of the world. The theme that led him to success with people searching in painting a picture of freedom and a new way of evading themselves, is a comfortable terrasse with flowers with a beautiful view of a mediterranean gulf.
