Throughout his artistic career the painter turned towards all the traditional genres and plots of European life, but taking in new psychological concepts of a person of the 21st century.

The woman is the focus of his art, being an object of his Freidian complexes and erotic fantasies. Contrasting hues form the basis of the colour basis. The colouring is intense, with light seemingly emanating from his pieces. Smooth oil painting techniques seen in the works of Italian and Dutch Old Masters are the defining qualities of the artworks, together with strong contrast typical of Fauvism and Expressionism. His main goal is to unite the traditional and contemporary.
