He supplemented his sculpture studies in Paris - at the turn of 1911/12 - in the atelier of, among others, F. Colarossi. After returning to Poland, he lived permanently in Warsaw. From 1915 he was a member of TPSP, as well as a member and long-time president of the Sculpture Society. He resided in France again from 1923-26.
