A painter, graphic artist, laureate of the Regional Prize named after Y. Bokshai and A. Erdeli. A disciple of the famous Transcarpathian teachers of drawing – Shandor Petki and Vilmosh Berets.

He had a warm and friendly relationship with the famous Transcarpathian avant-gardist and nonconformist–the late Ferenc Seman (Osci).

In the artist's studio, literally littered with canvases, frames, paint accessories and paper stacks, one can see the multifaceted creative works of the artist: still lifes, landscapes, abstractions, sketches...

He annually exhibits at the international graphic arts exposition in Subotica (Serbia). Among the personages of his paintings, prevalent are the characters of ancient Greek myths and allegories of the zodiac: centaurs, nymphs, furies, dryads, etc. The central place is given to woman, which is in no way strange.
