In his paintings poured ocher, gray, pink, black, blue and multicolored sparkles, which provide a harmonious and refined the cosmos featuring artists in their work atmosphere. 

The artist spoke about his artistic motivations in a fragment called About the Commons, in his book Object-published in early 2001: "We gestate as windows media to talk and create in them to become through our demonstrations in around us, and have endless times what we are, as an eternal mirrors ... never satisfy us is our common need to lead, observe, invent (us), as if there could be contained in a small gesture of time.
