His attitude towards painting techniques is definitely untraditional.It combines interest towards refining techniques through the richness and complexity of texture and form.His metaphorical themes are taken out of fairy tales and are characterized by endless imagination.Each action upon the canvas, even the most insignificant, is not free because it supports the construction of the painting and keep it stable.With their ritual postures and gestures the characters in the pantings exist in a world of changing polychrome past and predetermined monochrome future.
