His works – the visualization and designing of the world, which affects by its integrity. "My task is to keep on presenting the modern world to the viewers, to give them power through the canvas. This is how we can survive the future," the artist believes. He creates a language of forms and outlines in a wide range of narratives of the contemporary art.
