He graduated as a ceramic artist from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2008. In his creative work he focuses on issues of autonomous ceramic plasticity. His works are lyrical abstractions, interconnected in appearance and narrative, reflecting the real or imaginary experiences of the artist. In 2008 he won the ‘Young Artist’ Award at the XX National Ceramics Biennale, and in 2021 he was awarded the 3rd prize at the National Ceramics Biennale. His works are included in private collections in Germany and China, as well as in the collection of the International Ceramics Studio.
