Since then, he has exhibited all over the world and developed an aesthetic vocabulary of his own. Whether in bronze, resin, aluminum or cast iron, his sculptures probe the limits of the body, animal or human. In Florence, the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno and the Villa Finaly are exhibiting nearly fifty works, including around twenty specially created for the occasion by the Massimo del Chiaro Art Foundry, in Pietrasanta. At the Accademia, an army of dwarves revisits the Italian Renaissance – Botticelli's Venus, Michelangelo's David or Mantegna's Saint Sebastian – up to the superheroes of American comics, while the Villa Finaly welcomes “Les Insolites” – giant grasshopper, dog in a cage, obese copulating in a four-poster bed – recently exhibited at the Réfectoire des Cordeliers in Paris and at the Eduardo Sivori Museum in Buenos Aires. In 2010 he became Vice President of the Taylor Association. Knight of the French Order of Arts and Letters.
