Born in Peć, Democratic Federal Yugoslavia (modern-day Peja, Kosovo), he graduated from the Academy of Applied Arts of Belgrade in 1969 and the Academy of Arts of Ljubljana in 1971.[1]
He was a member of the Academy of Figurative of Arts of Kosovo and later of the Academy of Science and Arts.[1]
His atelier in Čaglavica was put to flame during the 2004 unrests, but was rebuilt and today stands as a museum.[1][2]
His works include the statues of Ymer Prizreni and Abdyl Frashëri displayed at the League of Prizren museum. During the Kosovo War, Serbian policemen threw the statues into a nearby river and the museum was burnt.[1]
