He finished his studies in the Bavarian capital in 1896, but returned there many more times in the following years. He exhibited from 1891; he presented his works at the Warsaw Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts and the Cracow and Lviv Society for the Friends of Fine Arts. He painted atmospheric landscapes and marine-themed paintings; views from southern Italy (including Capri) were a frequent motif in his works.
