His feat is to achieve in each of his paintings a fragrance of timelessness, ideal, dream. The theme of his paintings is never the animation of passers-by but the facades and the storefronts themselves. Very quickly he moved to Montmartre.

He has exhibited in Lebanon, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Italy including many exhibitions in Rome, and the United States (New York, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Minneapolis, Palm Beach, Phoenix, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans ...).

His urban landscapes are charming and never austere, vibrant with colour and the rendition of texture.
