He was mainly engaged in applied graphics (banknotes, postage stamps, book covers and illustrations, posters, ex-librises, textile and lamp designs), genre, religious and landscape graphics (mainly lithographs and color woodcuts). He had stylizing tendencies influenced by folk and Japanese woodcuts.
