In France, his passion for comics and his knowledge of the French-Belgian and international comics scene deﬁnitely matured.

In parallel he always worked part of the year as a Frontend computer programmer. During the years in Berlin he did various exhibitions and started to sell his comics work, mainly drawings and original boards from exhibitions and on commission. He has published for some Italian (irrequieto) and German (lcb) online magazines. He participated in many initiatives of the Berlin art scene (collective works, drawings for ﬁlms and short ﬁlms, exhibitions, collaborations, lifedrawing and comics marathons). He arrived in Lisbon in October 2021. He participated in the collective exhibition with Lisbon Drawing Club, exhibiting and selling some works made during the Life Drawing sessions.
