It is part of many private and public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, the Taiwan Museum of Art, the National Gallery in Prague, the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts in Tokyo. A large bibliography has also been devoted to him.

His painting plunges us into a strange world where bodies are revealed in innocent nudity. Many family scenes bring together men, women, children, objects and animals, all disconcerting but in a cozy atmosphere. The simplicity of the characters challenges us with their naive looks and invites us to join a secret world.
