Sculptor but he also produced medals and plaquettes. He attended the School of Industrial Design from 1902 to 1905. He first met the new French style of medals and the art of Adolf von Hildebrand in the workshop of Ede Telcs. Winning a prize allowed him to visit Italy in 1907, and then following Hildebrand's advice, he spent three months in the workshop of Georg Roemer in Munich in 1909 where he learnt classicism and art nouveau.

His medals and plaquettes brought him a lot of success in Hungary (Kalotaszeg 1908). The new government of the proletariat appointed him teacher of ornamental sculpture in the department of Béni Ferenczy, a sculptor. He was a teacher at an apprentice school between 1932-43, and at the School of Industrial Design from 1928 to 1943. From 1943 to his retirement in 1948, he was the artistic director of the State Mint.

His art is represented with a lot of medals in the Hungarian National Museum and plaquettes and statuettes in the Hungarian National Gallery. He was a highly productive artist with nearly 2,000 medals and plaquettes. His delicately engraved medals, portraits and nudes are milestones of modern classicism.
