Builds churches and profane objects in Macedonia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The churches are mainly solved as three-nave basilikas surrounded by the porches of West, from the south and from the north side, over which the tribunes are “female churches”, which in the western part unite with a gallery, creating new architectural solutions such as symbiosis of domestic tradition and non-anniversary, Unable and neoclassical styles. Particularly highlights the internal area of the churches with large dimensions and rich architectural processing. Significant realizations: completion of the construction of the Cathedral Church “St. Virgin “in Skopje (1835); Church “St. John “in Kumanovo (1836); “St. Panteleimon “in Veles (1840); “St. Ilija “in a baker, Serbia (1844); The Church in the monastery “St. Joachim Osogovski “end Kriva Palanka (1845); Church “St. Apostles “in Turenenovac, Serbia (1845); “Dormition of St. Virgin “in Novo Selo, Stip (1850); “St. Nicholas “in Kumanovo (1851); “St. George “in Smederevo, Serbia (1850-1854); “St. Spirit “in Nis, Serbia (1857-1872); “St. Trinity “In New Varos, Serbia (1857-1873); “St. Archangel Michael “in Gorno Chip (1861); “St. Virgin “in Chinese, Bosnia (1857-1863); “St. Virgin “in Sarajevo, Bosnia (1863-1868); “St. Trinity “in Pirot, Serbia (1868); “St. Trinity “in Mostar, Herzegovina (1873), demolished in the war (1992).
