He began his artistic studies at the drawing school in Odessa. Then - in 1892-1894 he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Cracow under Florian Cynk, Izydor Jablonski and Wladyslaw Luszczkiewicz, and after 1894 also at the private school of Stanislaw Grocholski in Munich. After returning to Poland from 1902 he lived permanently in Cracow, from where he moved to Zakopane for two years. In 1905, 1925 and 1928 he traveled to Italy. He painted mainly landscapes - seascapes, nocturnes and Tatra motifs and city views. On rare occasions he also created portraits of a "purely familial nature." The artist's best works were created before World War I; later, faced with the need to earn a living, he often duplicated his own ideas. He participated in many exhibitions, including in Krakow, Warsaw, Lvov, Lodz, Poznan, Lublin; he also had several solo exhibitions in Krakow.
