From 1950, he frequented the Montparnasse des Artistes and became friends with Anton Prinner, artist and friend of Maria Elena Vieira da Silva, Pierre Loeb and Picasso. He also linked up with artists from the rue de la Grange-Batelière: Goetz, Mondzain, Michonze, Meyer-Lazar.
In 1960, he invented his own writing which he called "Figura-synthesis". The "Figura-synthesis" he says "" is the image that we have of an object and not of the object in its form as it appears to us: it is subjectivized and only represents an unreal form on all levels. The relationship between forms constitutes "Figura-synthesis". ""
