After completing his secondary studies, Arijac studied architecture with the International Correspondence School.

Arijac’s work is on permanent exhibit at the ruelle Nazon in Port-au-Prince.

He exhibited in 1965 with the Haitian-American Institute. He also exhibited in Haiti, New York at Wolfe International, in Italy, and the USA.
