The artist talks about the essence of his work this way: "The field of artistic exploration is the parallel development of two trends: painting and poster art. On my canvases I juxtapose motifs borrowed from reality and capture the most characteristic aspects of phenomena, which naturally prompts me to synthesize forms and use vivid colors. On the other hand, in stylistically diverse posters I use my own original typography." The artist's works can be found in private collections at home and abroad.
