Technique
Technique and process
Stylistically, his visual style focuses on abstract and expressive close-ups of portraits, which are usually presented in large formats. He uses a restrained color palette, accentuated by strong contrasts to create visual tension and focal points. Each work is designed to stand alone, stimulate thought, and invite the viewer to engage in personal reflection.
Theme and vision
His work is driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, inspire others, and leave a lasting impression. Through his portraits, he expresses gratitude and admiration for people who have shaped culture and society, often highlighting individuals who promote human connections across borders. Recurring themes in his art include social relevance, pop culture, and individual reflection, with a focus on personal and socio-political narratives. Together, they form a larger, cohesive body of work that reflects both contemporary visual language and an ongoing exploration of artistic expression.
Important series
Throughout his oeuvre, there are several series that pursue different thematic directions. Enablers of the World focuses on figures such as Franz Kafka, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Joseph Beuys, exploring cultural creativity and the connections between peoples and cultures. Stardust and Gods and Goddesses deal with pop culture and contemporary themes, while Close Encounter reflects on the relationship between humans and nature, drawing inspiration from works such as Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.
Individual works
A notable work from the series “Enablers of the World” is “THE BURDEN” (2025). It refers to Franz Kafka's “The Metamorphosis” and deals with themes such as alienation and isolation in modern society. Symbolic elements from the novel—such as the apple, which symbolizes rejection by the family, and the key, which represents lost autonomy—are integrated to emphasize the protagonist's alienation from his surroundings. The work is characterized by its distinctive use of gold leaf, copper, rust, and patina colors, marking a significant development in both his technique and the symbolic depth of his visual language.
