He works in painting, drawing and flake gilding. He is attracted to the subject of the human condition and the aesthetics of the human body. He also reaches out to the natural world in search of inspiration

"I create a world standing in opposition to the contemporary model of unreflective reality full of haste and chronic lack of time. An oneiric world in which I blur the line between waking and dreaming. The common denominator of this world is human corporeality in its multiple forms, its fascinating and delightful aesthetics. He analyzes it - sometimes reducing the body to a two-dimensional ornament, a decoration. In search of timeless, universal beauty, he composes images composed of features of many, as in ancient sculptures of Greek deities and heroes - cool, indifferent, strong. Monumental. At other times sensual and sensual, fragile. I use impermanent corporeality to capture fleeting states, emotions, thoughts. As an insightful observer, I sometimes create portraits - symbolic portraits that provide a psychological outline of the person depicted."

Award-winner, author of solo exhibitions and participant in many group exhibitions at home and abroad, including: in Spain, France, Great Britain, Belarus, Italy and the United States.
