He exposes at the FIAC in Paris for the first time in 1982 with the Claudine Bréguet gallery.[14] In 1989 the French state commission a series of tapistries on the theme of the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. The works are presented at the Bastille Opera,[15] Arch at La Defence,[16] the National Assembly, Aubusson museum,[16] the European Parliament and at the Luxembourg museum in Paris.[17]
