@ 1990  - Most of the early Exhibitions Franz did were based on the traditional woodcarving style he was trained in, but after travelling to India and with his passionate desire for the freedom of expression, he began to move away from the more traditional forms.

As early as the mid 1980s his work started to transform, making way for new abstract forms that he had long desired to manifest and then in the 90s he started to work with other mediums such as marble and granite to further create his ideas in stone. During his time in Austria, he also worked in the film industry, for Walt Disney in Vienna in 1993, and was then commissioned to work on the Opera House and Burg Theatre in Vienna, doing renovations work.

@ 2002 - Working as a professional Sculptor in Austria up until 2002, Franz then moved to Australia, where he now lives in Victoria with his Australian wife Susi.
