The subtle nature of small creation he managed to transfer into of monumental sized works made in sculptors' gatherings. His work is above the common works of non-professional sculptors. Abbreviations and abstraction reaches beyond normal folk art, and the final shape is somewhere between modern sculpture and African folk statues. His works' form is weightless, percepted as light and airy. His strengths are clean lines, he plays with wood and its structure, using them artfully in his works. Among the main themes stands a woman. He had several solo exhibitions, regularly attended sculpture open air events. He performed at several solo exhibitions at home and abroad.
