In 1993 he started to paint oils and acrylics. He usually offered those paintings. In 2005 he painted watercolours, pastels, acrylics and oils and with the help of enthusiastic friends, who commissioned some works, he got strength, maturity and will to exprerss the ideas in his mind and soul. Never let the memory fade and carry on, that is his motto: love for art is everything! Nowadays he tries to be in friendly terms with life, colour, emotion, surrounded by the tenderness of those who cherish him. His works reflect his message and his knowledge, they share experiences and emotion. He was recently started tile painting. He is also a sculptor.

In Art there is no hurry...just creativity and the way one looks at life and the World. The words that are not written on his paintings are a poem.
