He also made sculpture works, which consist of small characters fixed on disjointed wooden boards. The inspiration for these works is the Alchemical symbolism, a theme that he never stopped working on. He was a member of André Breton's Surrealist group, but was expelled in 1964 due to misunderstandings between the artists. However, he received a very nice tribute from his friend Jacques Prévert who wrote a short text for him during the exhibition "Le Bestiaire Magique" at Jean d'Halluin's: "The bestiary of superstitions has its dreams, the menagerie of religions its cages. A lantern, any lantern, is magical, the most beautiful candle pretends." The numerous allegories he stages are constantly linked to the four elements and seven so-called "elemental" metals. He expresses the duality of the world by opposing in turn the Sun and the Moon, the masculine and the feminine, Good and Evil, in an erotic and provocative Rabelaisian universe.
