His first works, figurative painting, are colored, violent; he likes fairs, markets and supermarkets, service stations, in the truth urban scenes. He exhibits and sell regularly; everything could so continue; but not, brutally, the year 1994 , it is the break ; the artist abandons the figurative art for the abstraction. He says: " I could paint something of reassuring, landscapes for example; it would indeed be, gentile; but exactly it is the doubt which advances me in my painting, it is the mainspring, the emotion of my canvases... When I begin a canvas, that is with the music of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Fred Frith, Tony Conrad ; the music settles a chaotic circle in my workshop ; it pushes aside walls; I can go down in the well of the emotion and fill my buckets. "

During you the years, he works relentlessly in his workshop which overhangs the Marne River, to Saulchery. His technique evolves; his generous knife works the texture of the oil with passion, playing on the alliances, deceiving alliances, through diffuse transparencies and thickenings of material.
