Initially trained in law, he turned to painting under the guidance of Henri Hayden and later developed an abstract style influenced by artists associated with the CoBrA movement. His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in the collections of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Tate Modern.
