His
first experience with wood drives him to renew it.
Recovering beaching woods, he begins wood-carving alone, as an
autodidact.
Improving his technique with the help of an artist, he is very
much inspired by symbolism and abstraction.
Nelly, his wife, supports him in his researches and in the lighties,
he reaches a very productive period.
Shut up in his work room, he works very hard during seven years
and creates his first significant production
The main directions of his work are then outlined : the figurative
line which reveals itself as a bridge towards a symbolic work :
the cubic expression in the totemic works inspired by primitive
arts ; the polychromatic woods looking almost like baroque style.
Concious of his creative value in 1990 he takes to bronze material
with which this great taciturn carries on unceasingly his quest
for authenticity
