He worked as a stonesculptor, contributing to the restoration of the Palace of Justice, the Town Hall, and the St. Michael’s Cathedral in Brussels, as well as the Church of Our Lady in Dendermonde.

Since then, he has been an independent sculptor, working figuratively with various types of stone using the direct carving technique.
