At the age of 13, reading   the history of surrealism   by René Passeron was a revelation. He began to paint as an autodidact, Max Ernst being his favorite painter. Very quickly, the human body became a favorite subject, technical books and precise anatomy accumulated in the library, oil painting on canvas imposed itself as a favorite experimental technique. Subsequently, a few years at the Beaux-Arts in Angers will confront him with the techniques of lithography, engraving and screen printing.

Rembrandt and Caravaggio fascinated him, then Vallotton , Bonnard , Dix and many others never ceased to challenge him. But it is indeed to these great obsessions of the flesh and the body that are: Egon Schiele , Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud that he will make a constant admiring reference.

Since the first exhibitions, his approach has been articulated in connection with the human body, taking shape in what he calls "his series" where the productions respond to each other, challenge each other and inter-react around the central question/theme of moment :

- attachment, bond, abandonment (in their multiple meanings)

- the intimate, the hidden and the sayable

- the imprint and the trace etc.

In 1994, a fire in his studio destroyed a large part of his graphic production, especially painting. He then devoted himself to lithography, engraving, photography and writing.
Takes up painting (oil on canvas) intensively for several years.
