From 1943 he worked in Rome. He emigrated to Buenos Aires with his family in 1948. In Argentina he contributed to the Croatian emigrant publication Hrvatska revija. His poetry is in the bohemian tradition of Antun Gustav Matoš and Tin Ujević, which he was inspired by after meeting the circle of writers around Ljubo Wiesner and Nikica Polić. He committed suicide in Buenos Aires on September 25, 1960. His tombstone in the La Chacarita cemetery bears the inscription "Ars longa, vita brevis".
