BIOGRAPHY
1950 Place of birth: Celje, Slovenia
1963 to 1976 I have started with activities on art topics already in grammar school, when I have sculptured my first sculptures in wood and metal. During my years of study I have started to draw and paint. In the year 1980 I have moved to Sentjur where I actually begin to be creative.
1980 to 1984 For 4 years I became a regular guest in the studio of a painter Goce Kalajdziski, who showed me and skilled me in a different painting and sculpturing technics. I became familiar with technic of watercolour, which I am using at most and I am still developing it. In the time of my presence in a studio of my mentor, I have prepared also my first exhibitions.
Among the important exhibitions I want to mention following:
1988 Smelt Ljubljana, Slovenija
1992 Le Faux Miroir Art Gallery, Grand Sablon-Brussels, Belgium / invitation of the galleriest mister Marc Pleitinx /
1993 Paviljon NOB Trzic- Museum of Contemporary History Trzic, Slovenia;

1998 Avditorij Portoroz, Slovenia unique art glass
1995 to 1998 During the time I was employed in a glass firm Steklar in Celje I have an opportunity to be acquainted with the modeling of glass / fused glass /. In the glass studio of Ciril Zobec in 1997 in Rogaska Slatina I have the chance to meet for the first time with the tecnic of glass fusing. From that moment on I have started to express my ideas also in glass.
1998 I made a decision to start being active only on the field of art. In the summer I have started to work in Portoroz, Slovenia.
2002-2003 Two years I had a studio in the Secovlje Salina Nature Park, where I have painted, sculptured and created in glass.
2003 I have moved to Piran, Slovenia. Piran becomes my living room.
