He worked at the workshop of André Lhote and Johnny Friedlaender. He built his work by deriving accepted techniques such as engraving, collage or folding paper to achieve a personal style. He thus elaborates with great care the artists' books, or book collages, an artistic form of which he is one of the most prolific representatives. Many poets including Charles Juliet have lent their words to his works. Modern European Graphic Art Prints and Collectibles.
