First a pupil of his father André Dendal, he completed his training as an autodidact.

In 1955, he was part of the artistic movement "JEUNE PEINTURE BELGE" promoted at the initiative of the art critic Robert Delevoy. The critic's project aimed to promote the activity of young artists in the field of painting and sculpture. The group was mainly composed of avant-garde artists active in Belgium between 1945 and 1948. The movement's most important exhibition took place in 1947 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
Besides Dendal, among its representatives are cited: Gaston Bertand, Anne Bonnet, Louis Van Lint and René Barbaix.
