Although his subjects vary from empty buildings and streets to an albino crocodile, they all share the same mood, the same emptiness, the same oppressive silence, betraying the strong inner anxiety that is so common in the contemporary world. Time seems to stand still in them, everything is suspended in an indescribable space-time. In this way, the author conveys the themes of loneliness, seclusion and existential anxiety.

"My paintings do not depict what is, what has happened, what is screaming and screaming for attention, but what is not. The main character in them is 'life', because that is what we miss when we look at empty spaces. I am talking about a whole range of human emotions, the vicissitudes of relationships, the impulses of agreement and disagreement, which is why we are standing here in front of a monumental, grand and not so grand, sports palace building. In other words, loneliness as a human unity with the surrounding environment and the emotional content of that relationship, not as a straightforwardly sad experience."
