Painter, student of J. Brandt and the Warsaw Drawing Class in the studio of Gerson and Kaminski. With Brandt's encouragement, he continued his studies in Munich, from where he returned to Warsaw and lived here for the rest of his life. He made several artistic trips to Italy, Belgium, France, visited Vienna and Budapest. His work shows a very strong connection with his hometown. The Radom area and its surroundings are the subject of most of his landscape motifs, market scenes and views of small towns. His love of plein air studies contributed to his interest in impressionism, issues of light and color. Over time, the artist leans towards decorative styling, the lines and spots in his paintings acquire an Art Nouveau softness. This is expressed, among other things, in the designs of café interiors. The artist was proficient in oil and watercolor techniques, but more often painted in watercolor. He also made polychromes, including in the cathedral in Wloclawek, and painted a fragment of the plafond in the Warsaw Philharmonic.
