Exterior painter, he travels many regions in order to always be in contact with the subject. His observation and his experience lead him to innovate a technique he calls undulism: the complete work is composed of multiple juxtapostions of slightly curved twin keys which give the painting an undulating effect. These works are most often in gouache but also in oil.
