His satirical and humorous works have been published in Poland, Greece, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Turkey, the United States and Canada. In Quebec, he made a name for himself with a series of cartoons related to the 1993-94 hockey playoffs, which he produced for a major Montreal daily newspaper.

As a freelance artist, he works regularly with major advertising agencies and publishing companies. He is well known for his book illustrations and for his work as a graphic artist and art director. In parallel, during all the time he continues to search for his proper way to express his own perception of Contemporary world through the painting and drawing constantly exploring it theoretically and practically. His works have been featured in a number of major exhibitions and have earned him a number of prizes abroad.
