During and immediately after his studies he was mainly engaged in drawing and printmaking. While already in Cracow in 2002-2005, he worked as a stained-glass painter at S.G.

The following years bring travels and exhibitions in Taiwan, a country with which the artist has been connected to this day. Cooperation with two Taiwanese universities: Fu-Jen in Taipei and Da-Yeh in Changhua, and prestigious schools (Wenhua-Beitou) result in new interactive art projects.
