Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow with Jozef Mehoffer and Leon Wyczółkowski. He then settled in Gdynia, where he drew inspiration from the emerging city, port and shipyard - something he was a pioneer in. He created from the perspective of Kamienna Góra and Kępa Oksywska. He received first prize for his Panorama of Gdynia II at the Third Maritime Exhibition. During World War II he was imprisoned in a concentration camp. In 1946 he returned to Gdynia and settled in Orlowo. He created chronicles illustrating the rise from the ruins of the destroyed city (the Shipyard Builds series). He was an active participant in artistic life in the Tri-City, which resulted in the creation of the Group of Polish Marine Artists in the artistic cafe Cyganeria. He was supported in this by Marian Mokwa. He painted illustrations for many magazines published on the Coast.
