He and his brother exhibited as jewellers at the 1956 Venice Biennale. In 1957 made assemblage sculptures out of different materials such as wood, paper and plaster, as well as reliefs and works in the round with gestural signs suggesting growth and multiplication. Began in 1958 to make sculptures by stretching fabric over a wooden structure to produce a continuous, undulating form which was afterwards cast in bronze.
