His style developed into one of impeccable detail and fluid forms. He treats forms as undulating landscapes, while light is translated as beams. He has since held major exhibits in Rome, Copenhagen, Monte Carlo, Reno, Paris, Tel-Aviv and many other cities. In 1978 two of his works were accepted into the permanent collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, making the self-taught artist the youngest artist to be accepted in the permanent archives of that prestigious museum. His works are found in the collections of former President Ronald Reagan, Francois Mitterand, the late Anwar Sadat, King Hassan II of Morocco, the late Prince Rainier and Prince Karim Aga Khan. * * *
