She helped him gladly, and showed him the technique of preparing oil colors and canvas.

At the beginning of 1975, he made his first painting named “Going out to field”. In the middle of 1980’s he had his first exhibition. First collective exhibition was in Kovacica in 1989. He was admitted to Kovacica naive art council in 1989.

He had over 50 solo and collective exhibitions in country and foreign by now. He lives with his family in Kovacica.
