Most often, he turns to large canvases, which make up the vast majority of his art series. To embody a linearly plot idea-story, making the most of separate canvases, as if from a mosaic creating a large-format image. Where every stroke is important. Where there is a place for awareness of both oneself and what the author wants to share with the world outside the walls of his workshop.
