1946, he discovered the Pyrenees-Orientales, particularly Port-Vendres and its surroundings. He returned to the same region in early 1948 and, dazzled by the Côte Vermeille, he and his family decided to settle in Port-Vendres, in a small isolated house surrounded by vineyards (the "Croix Blanche"). In 1951, their son was born in Perpignan. In 1952, he made a wall painting for the great Auditorium Oosterbegraafplaats in Amsterdam: "Arcadia" of Mediterranean-inspiration (from sketches done in Park Vilmarest in Argelès-sur-Mer). In 1954 he exhibited in Amsterdam, Gallery de Boer and Perpignan, Salle Arago. In 1955 he exhibited in Utrecht. In the same year, he produced a mural painting at the University of Groningen: "Waterfowl." The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam acquired some of his works, including his "Palm Tree" drawing for the Rijksmuseum Prenten Cabinet and also his gouache, "Still Life with Fish", and oils on canvas. In 1956, he received the first prize in a painting competition organized by K.N.S.M. a major Dutch shipping company, for its "Departure of the El mansour from Port-Vendres". In 1957 he exhibited in Paris, Gallery Bassano and also travelled to the Netherlands to achieve the "Four Elements" a mural painting for "The Atom" exhibition in Schiphol. 1958 was marked again by an extended stay in his native country to complete two murals. The first, "Narcissus" in Spinoza Lyceum Amsterdam and the second, "Theseus and Ariadne's thread", in another school, the School voor Maatschappelijkwerk in Amsterdam. These two wall paintings were created from numerous sketches made in the Roussillon countryside, on the banks of Tech, near Arles sur Tech. In 1959, the city of Port-Vendres offered an exhibition of his works in the exhibition hall of the town hall. In 1960 he exhibited at Galerie Barbizon, Paris. Meanwhile, in the course of several hikes in the Albères Maritimes, the painter discovered Mas Rossignol, then inhabited. He left Port-Vendres with his family for this idyllic but isolated place. He remained there until his death. In 1961 he exhibited in Perpignan, Atelier 45, in 1962 at the Grand Café de Ceret and 1966, again in Perpignan (Salle Arago). His atelier (studio) in the oldest part of Mas Rossignol, housed in the oldest part, also became a meeting place for art lovers (many private exhibitions). In 1967 he went to the Netherlands for an exhibition of his works in Laren (Room Hamdorff). Given the success of the enterprise, he came
