After academic studies, he followed for 8 years, with his cousin Jean Gourmelin, training of master glass with the glass master Max Ingrand and produced many stained glass windows. He then launched into the cartoon and became an illustrator for many French journals, including Plexus, Planet, Hara-Kiri, Lui, Pariscope and La Vie Electrique. He also began illustrating books. The first was Asunrath, fantastic book, published by Losfeld. The fantastic greatly interested the designer and he translated that interest in the early lithographs, which showed a great draftsman, they were running, sometimes exclusively, in many countries, like Japan or Germany. The artist participated in numerous exhibitions, group, like Berlin in 1964, or personal in Paris in 1967. 1969 saw the meeting Claude Serre and Jack Claude Nezat. Both became great friends. Jack Claude Nezat wrote numerous articles devoted to his art and his work and organized in 1975 and 1976-1977 two exhibitions in Germany that met a huge success. This relationship also allowed the designer to work with the magazine Pardon. Claude Serre, who meanwhile had the idea to make cartoons on topics such as medicine, sports, automotive, Do It Yourself, saw his first book Black Humor and Men in White, enshrined surgeons, dentists, published in 1972 by Editions Grésivaudan. The book won the Price Black Humor. The artist continued his work on a very large number of themes and books were published, with differences by Glénat, Editor in Grenoble. He also continued to illustrate works and worked in particular in books from Francis Blanche and Frederic Dard, author of the world famous series, San Antonio.

The artist died at age 60 after a traffic accident.
