Multidisciplinary artist, he lives in a house that he traded for one of his paintings situated in the picturesque village of l’Anse-Saint-Jean in Saguenay. He is the creator of the poster for Amnesty International “For a World Without Torture”, “The Mural for Peace”, the mural for the eradication of land mines from the documentary revealing the scandal of the Pikauba river, and the giant petition “Let’s save our rivers”.
