[2] From his early youth on, his main passion was drawing, and he had his first work published in Le Petit Vingtième when he was only seven years old.

[2] He made his debut in the youth magazine Bravo in 1946 with the Western comic Tom Colby, written by Hergé and Edgar Pierre Jacobs.

His main interest was the human body, but the catholic context and juvenile audience of Tintin limited his expressive possibilities.

In 1968, he was able to combine his passion for the female nude and his gift for drawing comics in Epoxy, a fantasy about the Greek gods written by Jean Van Hamme, which is considered to be one of the first adult comics of Europe.

[1] Ultimately, the lack of commercial success and the burden on his creativity of repeatedly drawing the same figures, inherent to the creation of comics, wore Cuvelier out, and from 1973 until his death 5 years later, he devoted his time to painting.
