In 1953 he began exhibiting at Salon des Ateliers d’Art and in 1955 he met the artist Jean Rustin, whose influence helped him refine a distinctive style which is characterized by incised pictographs showing figures and plants. His glazes are cloudy and have rocky effects from his application of Metallic.

In the 1960s he exhibited his work at the Salon des artists Décorateurs and Salon des Tuileries and the Prague Exposition Internationale de la Céramique Contemporaine, where he won the gold medal in 1962. In 1966 he won the silver medal at the Société des Artistes Français. He chaired the Chamber of Ceramists and Art Workshops of France from 1971 to 1991.
