He graduated from the School of Applied Arts as an interior decorator in 1907. He then went on a grand tour abroad (Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Brussels, Paris). From 1911 to 1913 he worked in the designing office of Béla Lajta and Béla Málnai, then he drew front pages and headers for 'Interieur', the paper associated with the mentality of Wiener Werkstatte.

He let his imagination loose in the area of architectural-artistic graphics, but his imagination consistently drew inspiration from the various sources of Art Nouveau, including the costume designs of Bakst, the fashion designs of Klinger, the graphics of Beardsley and the figural wallpapers of Viennese Art Nouveau. Contemporary Hungarian and Russian story illustrations also inspired his art. This is how his figural compositions richly interwoven with floral ornaments - that were naive and fanciful at the same time - were created. Both his trivial design artwork contributions and his 'independent' paintings were forgotten over time because of the anonymity that accompanied his whole life.
