It depends on how to practice this in the daily life. In his childhood he started to experiment with colour and natural material e.g. charcoal, different earth colour etc. which was available in his surrounding and even until today he keeps on practicing this, but also uses industrial made paints. Inspiration consists of the observation of his own environment. This could be the people he works with, people he met during travelling or the observation of nature and buildings. Sometimes his memory focuses back to the past. In his paintings he expresses what he observed for a few moments for others. In this way his observations remain as a remembrance for the next coming generations. Many of his paintings were drawn at high sea .
