What gets the biggest attention among his work are figures and figurines of the villagers ranging from 30 centimeters tall to even 2 meters. However, icons and wooden boxes are none the less original and beautiful. The figures carved by hand of the artist can be found in many ethno villages aside from Sirogojno: Zlatokusi, Kremna, Mokra Gora, Rača monastery, while the figurine of a donkey and a villager named `Zlatibor’s fast train` is in possession of our most successful tennis player, Novak Djoković.
