Since 1990 Member of the Lithuanian Artists' Union. 2005-2006 received an individual state scholarship for art and culture creators. He became a symbolic figurative composition, mostly using surreal zoomorphic motifs, based on images of ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, and Japanese cultures. The paintings are dynamic, dominated by sharp combinations of pure colors, reminiscent of medieval stained glass. They have a clear semantic meaning of the images, a focus on decorative expression.
