He has taught at the Haute école d’art et de Design in Geneva (HEAD – Genève) for a number of years. A monographic book about his work was recently published by the Swiss publisher Infolio, with the support of the Canton of Geneva and the City of Neuchâtel. The book contains critiques written by Swiss museum directors and international curators. His works can also be found in private and institutional collections, including: Musée d’art et d’histoire de Genève; Fonds d’art visuel de Chêne-Bougeries; Fondation Rampini; Fonds cantonal d’art contemporain de Genève; City of Lancy; Musée Jenisch, Vevey.

He explores the idea of time, through his work as an artist, and by using drawing and sculpture as a way to resist the constant stream of instant images that characterizes our current period. His installations include various kinds of spatialization that interweave a plurality of space-times and connect reality with virtuality, figuration with abstraction, and geometricity with organic forms. He brings polychrome Icebergs into resonance with monumental drawings of abstract structures, materializes Météorites made of stainless steel, represents Formations nuageuses or Vortexes, and produces very large paintings, based on fragments of scientific images, which question our relationship with memory, erasure, the environment, modernism and the current digitization of images.
