Biophysicist diplomé it marries in 1969 with Claudine HERNANDEZ who incites it to take again painting, but he is taken too much by his occupation and produced little. In 1986 it meets the CARA-MADRE painter and is tested with various techniques. It is not that in 1991 following its meeting with painter HELME emulates BABOULENE which it decides to devote to his art.They work together during 3 years. This period several works will leave of which the series of the "streets" of village.

Article
Influenced very early by the impressionists (Monet, Corot, Frank Boggs..) it does not have of cease to be exerted in art to play with the light. Its painting and the choice of its reasons is very directed towards mineral and the plant. The ground, the stone, the tree and the forest, sometimes associated water are elements which one constantly finds in his works. Recently it works with Claudine HERNANDEZ with the realization of works in "binomial", a diverting originality, which enables him to share their emotions on the reason.
