He was awarded a scholarship which enabled him to come and study in Paris until 1949. That same year, he left the capital to move to the south of France. He met some artists who lived there part of the year.

He worked as a sculptor, mainly making busts, including that of Albert Sarraut, the Emperor Bao Dai. During WWII, he was forced to abandon bronze sculpture, so he was forced to turn to painting.
