He attended the Charpentier Academy in 1967-1968, the Beaux Arts in 1967, and worked as an illustrator from 1977 to 1989. Originally from Paris, he attended the Beaux Arts school, because more than anything, he has this visceral desire to devote his life to painting. With an irreproachable classicism, influenced by the Impressionists, he naturally turned to the figurative before approaching surrealism in the footsteps of Magritte, whose work marked him deeply. Our society of the image and the photo provokes in him an awareness of the vanity of wanting to restore reality and to think the work more beautiful than the model. Already, Picasso's painting invites him to transcend his artistic approach and to rely on shapes, volumes, colors and matter. It is nature that the artist restores in his paintings. Bathed in the landscapes and colors of his adopted region, Languedoc-Roussillon, he takes us through his work in a dynamic vision of his universe. This dynamic, which seems to leave a taste of unfinished, nevertheless constitutes the very substance of what the painter wants to show us: the essence of the landscapes which surround him, in a way the hidden face of his painting. The warm atmosphere of his region is sublimated by the colors embedded in the work, which range from blue to violent red, passing through soft greens and sparkling yellows.
