Since 1985 his studio has been in Murgenthal. He was noted for his "oppressive inaglios".[3] In addition to drawings and engravings, since 1985 he has produced large format acrylic paintings. Four of his drawings are in the collection of the Gottard Bank, a collection used for decoration in the Bank as well as for exhibitions in the Galleria Gottardo and intended to represent the work of leading post-war contemporary Swiss artists.[1]
