Very much involved in the field of the art expertise, he became Expert, as a member of the French “Compagnie Nationale des Experts” (CNE) in 2001. He also has been graduated in law and scientific expertise of artworks at the Assas university of Paris in 2012. Beside this, he is also an Art book editor and author.
