He studied at Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest between 1947 and 1953. His teachers were István Szőnyi, László Bencze (painter), Gyula Pap (painter) and Jenő Barcsay. He immigrated to France in 1956. He continued his education in the field of fine arts in Paris, then in Nice. Initially, he painted surrealistic and dark pictures full of sombre colours that recall paintings of Grünewald and Bosch. By the late eighties, he came quite near to the limits of abstraction, and turned toward a more liberated, more colourful and less figurative art. Later, he painted expressive pictures with mosaic effect. In addition to paintings, he made sculptures as well; one of his monumental creations stands in front of the building of Médiathèque François Mitterrand in Sète, France. His paintings were exhibited in several art galleries, inter alia in Zurich, Chicago, New York, Montreal, Paris, Lyon, Nimes, Madrid, Milan and Geneva.
