From 1975 to 1993, he lived between Brussels, Miami and Paris. He is regarded as a remarkable contemporary Optic Art ( Op'Art ) artist, achieving perfection in his work. He constructs a world for himself, a surrealist, futuristic and spatial universe, going so far as to replace the Humanoid with the Placemanoid (some of his works bear this name). Rejecting traditional techniques, he airbrushes imaginary scenes to capture our attention and imagination. He uses a technique known as ‘églomisé', a negative painting technique requiring great mastery. The artist used materials and tools that were innovative for the time, such as airbrushes and Plexiglas. Few of his works are available on the art market, but it won't be long before collectors start to take an interest! Numerous exhibitions to his credit throughout the world (list available).
