In 2018, a monumental sculpture by Franco-Argentina artist Pablo Reinoso will be inaugurated at the Capella Hotel in Singapore and a sculpture by Jedd Novatt will be erected in mid-2019 marking the 700th anniversary of the city of Rolle, Switzerland.

With expertise in the field of art publishing, he has created a series of exhibition catalogues and contributed to the publication of reference books on Tribal Art (L’âme de l’Afrique: Masques et sculptures) and contemporary art (Art Plural: Voices of Contemporary Art).
