After studying painting at the beaux arts de Paris with Pierre Caron, I studied etching (among other things) with Virgil Nevjjestic.

Thanks to the craftsmen and artists I’ve met over the years, I have acquired many different techniques and learnt to use different mediums. After painting and etching, I naturally started learning wood sculpture in Italy. In 1991, I simply watched my friend Olivier Mingasson work. In 1996, I started adding other materials - such as metal or cellular concrete-, into my wooden sculptures.

I started working on glass in 1994, with a master glassmaker named Frédéric Pivet, for a project entitled White-Christ. It led me to work on a series of stained glass windows for churches located in the Poitou and in Britanny (from 2000 to 2005). This experience was prolonged when I met Hervé Debitus in Tours, with whom I worked on thermoformed glass. The use of wax, a translucent material, in my painting and in some of my etchings may well stem from my work on glass.

In 1998, in Italy I met Albert Casiraghy, a publisher. He made me want to design artist books, which I did : I created and published four books for PulcinoElefante editions.

At about the same time, Mireille Batut d’Haussy asked me to write texts for a book entitled Atelier d’artiste, which would later lead me to write the texts of my own books.

These techniques form a set of tools, which have allowed me to refine my research. At present I am trying to create images with the letters of our alphabet, I am trying to use them to create the landscapes, where the human forms - which have haunted my work for the past twenty years - live.
