He is also a member of the Union of Hungarian Graphic Artists and the Hungarian Chamber of Graphic Artists. From an early age he became acquainted with the work of L. Moholy-Nagy and the views of the Bauhaus, later the geometric-constructivist works of the creators of the Budapest workshop influenced his career. Initially he made graphics, paintings and curved aluminum sculptures based on the theory and practice of animation, but also worked on slide-out projection and light sculpture. The essence of his art is the line. From the first half of the 1980s, his constructive-structural grid lines loosen up and his works increasingly speak the language of gestures. His expressive, monomaniacally simple and yet creatively diverse world of symbols and symbolism (cross, flag, chair, carriage or chariot, tent or chest shape, tower, jacket) is based on seven basic elements, is extremely expressive, full of drama and tension. It has no inhibitions about the material (welding, grinding, painting, sanding, drawing, sawing, carpentry, etc.).
