The artist then uses them like a stencil, superimposing and interpreting in a colourful and graphic way these proposals of forms in constant evolution. He also compose with the constrain of creating perfect loops, with no start or end. In the lineage of the "poster artists" of the 1960s, by laceration, by accumulation, he makes several temporalities cohabit in his works. This work, in constant evolution, has been the subject of several residences (Chile, Spain, France, Quebec) and individual and collective exhibitions in many countries (Germany, England, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Spain, France, Greece, Iran, Italy, Japan, Quebec, Switzerland, USA, Czech Republic).
