He began his career in 1945 in the atelier of Mario Saletti as an illustrator.[1] Between 1948 and 1952, he was enrolled at the School of Applied Arts, which he never finished, preferring a career of a free-willed artist.[1] His first published comic is Neznanac (The Unknown), from 1952, and according to a script by Nikša Fulgosi, was published in Horizontov Zabavnik, which he continued to illustrate after Walter Neugebauer, Andrija Maurović and Aleksandar Marks.[1][2] The comic remained unfinished since Horizontov zabavnik stopped publication during the middle of 1953.[1]
