He geometrizes in the strictest way the figuration by declining all the blues of his palette, with their gradations. Perspectives lurk around minimalism, Towards the discovery of America, (1991), inanimate, fleeing from rails and panels, reddens crypting faces "of natives" mixed with those of immigrants. His Workshop, (2007), also inanimate, is a pretext for two large flat, one white, the other blue, with an escape to the outside. Another Atelier, history of the artist, Is filled with emblematic objects, palette, brush, finished paintings including a model in blue, separations in the room by equidistant bars and pendant from the ceiling, a key that the artist seeks to catch. Besides, in small format, a cluster of ocher figures, a kind of terra-cotta sculpture with lighted eyes, stands out against a blue background (2007). It is also portrait of de Gaulle seen in profile, (1990). Exhibitions: 1980, salon des Independants, Paris; 1985, international trade fair, Geneva; 1990, Museum of the Mrine, Paris, (P); 2008, Caplain-Matignon, Paris, (P).
