During his post-graduate studies in embroidery and applied arts in Paris, he immersed himself in the ancient skills of his native region, earning a Diplôme des Métiers d'Art.

Each piece is hand-cut in its own direction, reflecting or absorbing light according to its orientation, creating a changing surface as the viewer moves in front of it. Its weave enables it to both absorb and reflect light.
