He mainly created blackboard paintings, colored pencil drawings, photographs, murals and installations. His work is characterized by the style of fantastic realism . In the GDR, murals were made in the Greifswald nuclear power plant, in the officers' college in Zittau, in today's Dresden engineering college, at the Technical University of Dresden, in the Academy of Sciences in Berlin and at two primary schools in Dresden.
