Proceed with the studies based on the works and teachings of important contemporary artists who base their works on figurative art and who combine academicism with contemporary art. The interest in improving techniques and anatomy intensifies, influencing drawing and painting studies in the following years. These characteristics are increasingly present in his works, which are currently developed in oil, charcoal, sanguine and graphite. Over the years he has adopted his own language. The poetics of his works are based mainly on symbolism and introspection. Individual, collective exhibitions and participation in cultural projects are part of his curriculum.
