He then continued his studies at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris. His first solo exhibition was in Copenhagen in 1950 and two years later he set out separately at the De ungas salong in Stockholm. He participated in group exhibitions organised by the the Hörby konstförening (Art Association) and in themed exhibitions in Småland and Skåne. Among his public works is a bust in bronze by Professor Otto Rydbeck of the Historical Museum in Lund, a wooden sculpture and piece for Härlövs church in Skåne, public mosaics in modernist Cubist styles in various locations including a wall at the Eslöv courthouse, Eslöv church where he produced two stained glass windows in the chancel pointed arch windows in 1967 and at baptismal font at Husie kyrka in Malmö.
