His distinctive and recognisable style employs fundamental graphic techniques, such as collagraphy, cardboard cut, and silkscreen.

In his works, he addresses various philosophical questions and contemporary events, ranging from military conflicts to everyday objects and themes like the street, news, and advertising.
