His numerous stays in his house in Sauliac sur Célé in the region of Quercy inspired him for 2 series of paintings: interiors paintings Le lit de Mathilde (Mathilda’s bed), l’Âtre (the fire place) and landscape paintings, he paints his garden; box edges inspired him to do a variation on the theme of Buis à l’arbre mort (Box trees with a dead tree) – 1991. In this last period the figurative aspect is reduced to the minimum, announcing almost a return towards abstraction.
