These lines add a sense of movement to the scene. In one of the sections, there are figures that appear to be angelic, floating above the landscape.The artist's style is detailed and textural. He uses fine lines to create a complex, grainy texture throughout the piece. This technique adds depth and a tactile feel to the visual experience.

His work captures a blend of reality and fantasy, making the viewer pause and ponder the scene's meaning.
