He immigrated to Israel in 1935, where he attended university and began painting, studying with Streichman and Stematsky.

He participated in numerous group exhibitions, notably in Paris: Salons des Réalités Nouvelles from 1959 to 1963, the Independents, the Great and Young People of Today, Comparisons, as well as the Biennale of Menton in 1955, the Biennale of Sao Paulo in 1961 He has also exhibited at the Tel Aviv Museum, the Modern Art Museum in Haifa, the Modern Art Museum in Paris, the Art Institute in Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal.

From a tormented figuration, he evolved towards abstraction in the fifties. Worked with a knife, with violence, the colors bloom in a luminous composition. Lines, lines overlap, collide, perfectly mastered.
