Living as a true art lover and creator, he has been actively published as an illustrator since 2008. Despite numerous performances with several local music groups from a young age, he decides that illustrating is his greatest passion. He lives and works as a freelance illustrator in Zagreb, rides a lot on his bicycle and makes music every day. He aspires to create dreamy worlds, provide hope, comfort and fun to young generations through his work.

He has been enrolled as a member of ULUPUH since 2014. His first works were published in the children's magazine 'Radost', and he soon began collaborating with the newspapers 'Smib' and 'Modra lasta', thus beginning to specialize himself in the illustration of children's literature.

Through his work he explores various techniques and approaches to illustration, and even animation, painting and contemporary sculpture. His illustrative expression outlines atypical, but harmonious and rich compositions of compelling colors, three-dimensional shapes playing with flat design approach.

In his use of digital techniques one can highlight the inspirations of the painterly strokes of the Impressionists, and imaginations of Surrealists, with very clean contemporary characters and soft white outlines. He has regular collaborations with local partners such as Školska knjiga, Evenio publishing house, and many others.
