In his creative work, Pista attempted, and very successfully at that, to create big altar scenes and related sacral iconography, with the end result being several grandiose scenes across Croatia, where he managed to depict, in is own unique way, the spiritual, often combining more art techniques (like art-relievos), to make the scene more in tune with the space and to better portray the entire content. Apart from that, Pista painted portraits of saints from some churches, and the paintings are still visible to the public.
