He currently paints works characterized by strong form and expressive composition, featuring bold color contrasts. These means of expression are well-suited to the themes of his paintings, which respond to emotions. He is fascinated by the paintings of Rubens as well as 20th-century art. He combines realism and figuration with explorations of Cubism and Colorism.
