After finishing his studies he started working as a designer, and presented his first sculptural work in 1983. From 1994 on, he began to include paintings in his exhibitions. In 2016 he created a collection of jewel-sculptures named “Sculptures à porter”.
His work has been exhibited in galleries in Spain, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Luxemburg, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Hong Kong, USA, Venezuela and Colombia, as well as in museums such as La Cour d´Or Museum in Metz and the Municipal Museum in The Hague.
