Painter and graphic artist. He was a student of Károly Ferenczy's at the Academy of Fine Arts, Budapest for four years. From 1991 he studied as a college student at the Free School of Nagybánya (Baia Mare, Romania) in István Réti's and János Thorma's restoration workshop. Between 1920 and 1924 as well as in 1927 he worked in the colony of artists of the same place.

After spending some years in Nagybánya he went for a study trip to Germany and Austria. Subsequently he worked in the Sub-Carpathian Region for several years and was a member of the Association of Sub-Carpathian Artists. In 1920 he had his first exhibition in the National Salon. He made an appearance at the Jubilee Exhibition in Nagybánya in 1924 and at the joint exhibition of the Nagybánya painters in 1927.

At the end of the 1930s he settled in Szentendre and he mostly depicted the neighbourhood of that town in his paintings. In 1945 he was chosen to be a member of the Szentendre colony of artists, and he participated in the joint exhibitions of that community. He was also a member of New Society of Artists (KUT). In 1955 he organised a comprehensive exhibition in Szentendre.

His art is based upon the Nagybánya traditions of the unity of man and nature. He is equally astute in the field of oil, watercolour and graphics. His contribution in the field of graphic arts involves sketches and linocuts, but the number of his monotypes is also considerable.

In 1967 a commemorative exhibition was organised from his works in the Ferenczy Museum in Szentendre. Many of his creations, including 'Woodworkers', have been purchased by the Municipality of Budapest, but some of his works are on display at the Hungarian National Gallery, in the Darnay Museum in Sümeg and in the Museum of Nagyvárad (Oradea, Romania).
