He masterfully knows the technique of watercolour, pastel, and combined techniques. His inspiration is the nature. Therefore, in his pictures the Transcarpathian beauty is dominating- woods and streams, villages, wooden churches. In the artist’s works it is prevailed rich, formative, and expressive line. It creates volume, plot, design. Inclination to the clearness and constructibility, the use of corpuscular dabs in painting and contours in graphics, contrast of forms and space, expressiveness of light and shade - everything is a feature of Hanzel’s style.
