From the beginning of his freelance work the author concentrates on commissions /from the design to the implementation/.
The designs are always original and the author guarantees their irreproducibility. In the course of the implementation the skilled handywork is emphasised; the author also draws from the experience gathered during restoration works in which he also participated. However, he does not avoid the modern techniques.
The inseparable part of the works are qualitative surface treatments, for which the metallisation is used. It raises the utility value of the works.
The author regularly presents his works inspired by figurative motives at exhibitions.
