He practices painting, drawing, graphics and mixmedia. He focuses his artistic activities around formal experiments, giving them meaning, he seeks to record time in the form of an artifact, object, work, process. In painting, he minimizes returning to abstract forms, which gives his paintings a more universal dimension. The inspiration comes from everyday life and natural processes related to time and the properties of matter. He illustrates them with simplified forms, transmitting symbolic meanings to objects and places, he creates a personal matter of memory of the past and presence. The stone, as an object and metaphor, being a symbol of duration and eternity, and the personification of the eternal mystery in her painting deliberations, has become an expression of the coherence of matter and spirit. As a tangible component of everyday life, a fragment of inanimate nature is an object of search, a relic of the past, a peculiar form of recording time and, above all, an inspiration to study the painting and graphic values. The architecture of shapes in the paintings is emphasized by the contrasts of light and shadow, and the balance between richness and color asceticism strengthens the influence of signs and forms. The combinations of colors, contrasts, textures, stripes, the structure of matter and the dynamics of the gesture are values ??that the artist strongly emphasizes by building tension in the picture. Working on the matter of the work during the creative process includes elements of discovering the mystery and is the essence of recording time in the picture. Building your own art alphabet is a continuous process of artistic search, and the variety of means is an expression of creative individuality.
