He also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where he was taught by Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz. In 1975 he made his debut as a visual artist with an exhibition of his bronze sculptures in Sittard. Exhibitions at home and abroad followed. He also started a gallery and a sculpture garden, the Procure, in Sterksel.
