From Martinique, Born in 1963 in Malakoff, he studies photography in various workshops in Paris, as student and assisting. He begins a personal project, within the West-Indian community of Paris. Then in 1991, he collaborates and travels with the "Revue Noire", he starts his first illustrations and begins to meet Caribbean artists. Since, he continues to follow, by round trip, the human trends which irrigate the Caribbean. It is thus naturally that he undertakes to be immersed himself in Caracas thanks to a grant of the French Cultural centre which asks him to organize photographic workshops for the teenagers of the city. His fascination for the mix of Hispanic, Caribbean and even African cultures will push him to remain there several months to conclude the workshops and his own need to visually explore the complexity of this city.
