Active since the 1960s, at a time when kinetic art was revolutionizing established forms, he made geometry his own language, creating jewelry that resembles moving constellations and celestial landscapes, where pivots and joints mimic the movement of the stars. His creations are held in the collections of the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York.
