1968-1986 PROGRAMMER
For over twenty years, I learned programming as a craftsman where I had to observe, to conceive, to schematize and then complete a work.
I carried out this activity by studying the experiment of other men and by exchanging ideas. During all this period, I had often applied a very pure creation. Today far from the techniques 1986-2004 PAINTER
In summer of 1986, on a Basque beach, I met a woman occupied to carve small alabaster statues: she was Maryse Voisin. She had won the Great Price of ROME of sculpture and had been the pupil of BALTHUS in VILLA MEDICIS for five years in the Italian capital.
After her art studies in Bayonne then in Paris, she came back to the Basque country to help her parents. There, she gave painting courses in an association called "CARRE LIBRE". That day, her passion of the visual arts intrigued me and I followed her to her workshop. She lent me brushes, canvas, painting tubes and gave me her first piece of advice. Of our long friendship, she became my Master. Maryse helped me discover this new world of painting and introduced me to other artists.
I devoted myself to this art to the point that it became a full time activity. When she left “CARRE LIBRE” to teach in another association called "TERRE D’OMBRES" in Socoa, I followed her. Now I am painting at home, in Biarritz, but always show her photographs of my work
