He collaborated with monk-painter Amvrosije Jankovićon church projects in Sremski Karlovci.[3][4][5][6] He was once Dimitrije Bačević's pupil and assistant.[7]
His notable works include the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Assumption (Uspenska crkva) in Novi Sad,[8] St. Nicholas in Irig and Neradin (1760), the iconostasis in the Orthodox church in Voganj and the iconostasis in the monastery church of Rakovac.[9] Additionally, he created the iconostasis of the Church of Saint Demetrius in Buda (lost in the Great Tabán Fire of 1810), and most notably, the iconostasis in the Annunciation Church in Szentendre.[10]
