At first, in Art Nouveau style, he created sculptures inspired by universal symbolism (Melancholy, Revenge, Longing, The Tragedy of Man's Work), then in further development, under the influence of folk art, he worked in stone and wood with expressionistic biblical compositions and figures of fishermen, peasants and shepherds. After II. during the Second World War he created large reliefs in wood, in which he strongly expressed the terror and suffering of the victims (Crni dani), and monumental sculpture in stone (Kaštel Stari, Novi Sad, Niš).
