In 2006, he presented Figures Libres at the Altercultura Center in Barcelona. Initially an outlet, his creation becomes more and more structured. Thomas Labarthe finds his formats, begins to define his masses, his shapes and his colors.

Rich and fruitful, his life experience in Spain links him to the colors of the south.
