With regard to his painting techniques and his artwork: up until 2002, he has concentrated on the study of surfaces, developing a contemporary use of the traditional media of fresco techniques.
In his recent work he has returned to his older practice of employing more materic/textured surfaces and layering of colours, creating a depth, which aims to invite the viewers’ participation in the space of the paintings.

Since 2006 he has been working on a fusion between paintings and music by creating paintings with sound vibration.
In 2016 he collaborated with musician Derek Mc.
