In 1946 he settled in Warmia, on the banks of the Dadaj River; six years later he settled in Olsztyn and devoted almost all his time to painting. He was most fond of painting landscapes and flowers, but also portraits and still lifes. He was one of the artists shaping the cultural face of post-war Olsztyn.
