By the early 1990’s, I had become a purely abstract painter - though my figurative background is still evident in my drawings.
From 1996 to 2000 I was a member of SOHO20 Gallery located in Soho, NYC. I shown my work in several solo and group shows in New York, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Mexico City, Berlin, Hamburg, Prague, Budapest and Warsaw.
My works are in many private collections In Europe and USA.
Also photography is an area of interest.
