The artist clarifies and simplifies the colorful spot, searching for previously considered total emotional effect of the interaction of the shades and the perfect surface of the canvas. You can follow the sequence and the temperament of the gestures he uses to lay paint, to feel the distance of his presence in front of his works of art.
The visions are often simple, a result of a situation, free from details, frontal, symmetric and well balance in the whole composition. The purpose is not to narrate but to shift one idea into another by the means of the painting.
