In oil works, the most important actor is light, which builds, dynamizes, contrasts the composition, determines the mood and transience of the moment. He draws inspiration from theater, film, song lyrics and travel. He appreciates experiments with texture, collage. In the viewer he wants to evoke reflection and a multiplicity of interpretations: "I create paintings with an open composition so that it plays out on the viewer's side - in the imagination."
