Works
His sculptures, typically made with bronze, have been exhibited throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. As an engineer, he was known for the Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the Resort Moulin sur Mer, several buildings in the Wharf of Port-au-Prince, and the Imperial Cinema. In 1977, he purchased an old colonial-era sugarmill. It became his most emblematic achievement throughout his architectural career, now the Musee Ogier-Fombrun.
