Pursues sculpture, objects, installations, prefers to create cycles of works. His sculptures - objects filled with signs and symbols, sometimes citations from old art - form a personal message conveyed as a projection of memories and, at the same time, a sum of experience.

They are accompanied by a philosophical reflection on the issues of existence and cognition. In these works one can clearly see the disciplined use of visual means tending towards simple ascetic forms. Works presented at 11 solo shows.

Participated in over 100 group exhibitions - regional, national and international at home and abroad - and retreats. 1961-1963 worked with art group 'New Lines'. 1970-1972 worked with art group 'Concrete' - author's exhibitions, happenings, installations. 1972-1980 engaged in works of 'small architecture' (habitat, man, environment). Many times awarded with prizes, honorary mentions and medals in competitions, exhibitions as well as for the creation and didactic achievements, twice awarded by the Minister of Art and Culture.
