O meni

Rodil sem se leta 1949 v Ljubljani. Leta 1974 sem diplomiral iz kiparstva na Akademiji za likovno umetnost v Ljubljani. Že več kot 40 let ustvarjam v kamnu. V tem času sem pripravil več kot 120 samostojnih razstav ali sodeloval na skupinskih razstavah doma in v tujini. Do upokojitve sem bil zaposlen kot profesor likovne vzgoje na Gimnaziji Bežigrad v Ljubljani. Leta 2004 je izšla moja pesniška zbirka Poletje, leta 2016 pa roman Evangelij za pitbule (Mladinska knjiga). V zadnjih letih v reviji Sodobnost objavljam eseje na temo umetnosti ter pripovedujem pravljice na Pripovedovalskem festivalu.

I was born in 1949 in Ljubljana. In 1974 I graduated from sculpture at the Academy of fine arts in Ljubljana. I have been working in stone for more than 40 years and have had more than 120 independent exhibitions, or participated in the group exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad. Until retirement I worked as a professor of fine arts at the high school Gimnazija Bežigrad in Ljubljana. In 2004 my book of poetry »Poletje« was published, and in 2016 I published a novel »Evangelij za pitbule«. In the last years I have been publishing essays on art in the journal Sodobnost and have been a regular guest at the Story-telling festival in Ljubljana.
