Presenting the antin paul workshop, one of the best known of Bordeaux artists of the time. He met his future wife, Yvonne latapi-tronquet, a painter, whom he married in 1914. He continued his artistic training in Paris, at the Ranson Academy where he attended the courses of maurice denis and paul serusier, bound with edouard goerg and andré lhote. Back in bordeaux, he became one of the animators of Bordeaux artistic life in the 1920s.

In 1919, he organized an exhibition in which Parisian and Bordeaux artists of avabt-garde were gathered "a group of modern painters", among them his friend andré lhote. After being initially fascinated by cubistic experiences, sonneville turned away from the nascent abstraction and cultivated a personal style, or the search for the rendering of emotions was paramount. For him, the concern for form must be secondary, otherwise the painter is lost in a simple decorator approach. Cultivating and transmitting sensations, creating poetry by means of color constitute for him the very essence of the profession of painter.

During the war, then during the crazy years, he asserted himself as a recognized artist, present in the salons and celebrated by numerous personal exhibitions. The 1929 crisis forced him to practise an administrative profession, but he continued to paint, to draw under the name of sono in newspapers and to expose him to both burgundy and bets, where he settled from 1924 to 1964. His paintings tell about the harbours and their boats, the colourful landscapes of the Basque country, agricultural work and village scenes. He transfigures his subjects using a highly contrasting palette, and a powerful expressiveness in the rendering of volumes. He died in 1978 in the town of Talence, in a gironde, where he had settled for twenty-four years.
