His teaching career profoundly shaped his artistic journey. A professor and then director of the Rennes Regional School of Fine Arts for over thirty-five years, he trained numerous generations of artists while developing his own creative output. This dual activity demonstrates his commitment to artistic transmission and regional cultural activities.
His participation in prestigious Parisian exhibitions confirmed his national recognition. A member of the Salon d'Automne since 1948, he also exhibited at the Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture à l'Aqua as well as the Salon de la Marine, revealing the diversity of his interests and techniques.
Since 1945, his solo exhibitions have regularly punctuated his career. The Parisian galleries of Seine (1950-1951) and Chardin (1952-1954) hosted his first solo presentations, while the Jobbé-Duval gallery in Rennes (1955-1968) became his preferred exhibition space in Brittany, a region that particularly nourished his inspiration.
His work is characterized by a poetic approach to landscapes, whether it be the Breton and Normandy coasts that he particularly loved, the Italian countryside discovered during his travels, or the equestrian scenes of Deauville that reveal his taste for movement and equestrian elegance.
The retrospectives organized at Rennes Town Hall in 1989 and at the Ursulines Museum in Le Faouët in 1991 commemorate a career spanning more than forty years. These tributes underline the importance of his work in the Breton and French artistic landscape, testifying to a constant creation that combines technical mastery and poetic sensitivity to the territories he was able to immortalize.
