Academy of Fine Arts, where he himself taught for a short time. In his time, he was considered to be a fierce stormtrooper and a multi-genre artist who appeared in almost every exhibition of his generation. However, he met the fate of a short life and left it voluntarily at the age of 36. With gentle exaggeration, he drew his themes from old magazines, accentuated normalising pop culture or, for example, created very appreciative portraits of toys.
