After trying his hand at a commercial career in China, he signed his first drawings "Made" in Paris in 1896, then met Edmond Vernier, who signed "Dola": the duo produced illustrations under the name "Madola" for operetta librettos, which they initially produced in their lithographic studio. Between 1897 and 1904, under the sole pen name "Jacques Wély", he produced a number of sheet music covers, for the Parisian publisher Enoch among others.
Around the same period, he delivered an increasing number of caricatures to most satirical and light-hearted newspapers. He also began producing paintings, exhibiting 12 at the Salon des humoristes in 1909. A member of the Société nationale des beaux-arts, his gouaches show humorous or tender scenes of couples, portraits of women and a few still lifes, sometimes in the tradition of Post-Impressionism.
In 1908, he opened a new studio in Montfort-l'Amaury, but died of tuberculosis two years later.
Illustrator for the publishing houses Rouff, Albin Michel, Jules Tallandier and Pierre Lafitte, he became a key caricaturist for their periodicals.
