In contact with artists such as Paul Belmondo and Antoniucci Volti, who encouraged his artistic vocation, he tried his hand at sculpture before taking up throwing and exhibiting his first works under the patronage of Jean Mayodon. His creations in earthenware or stoneware, inspired by popular tradition, take the form of small religious or zoomorphic sculptures, or ceramics decorated with a colorful graphic line, revealing his talents as a draughtsman.
