He shows his works in numerous solo exhibitions, since the first in 1958 in Lyon, Paris, Algiers, Lille, Geneva, Zurich, Brussels, Montreal, Frankfurt am Main...
In 1963, he executed two stained glass windows for the college of higher education in Chalon-sur-Saône.
During his travels in Algeria, Morocco and Senegal, he painted from nature.
He illustrated with lithographs La Guirlande des dunes by Verhaeren, Les Châteaux de sable by Armand Lanoux, Les Poèmes saturniens by Verlaine.
Essentially a painter of landscapes, his writing, skilful to the point of virtuosity, recreates light and atmosphere, not without sometimes recalling Vlaminck in the rural dramatics.
