The main body of his work is compromised mainly of oil on canvas pieces, which are developed serially. These pictures are often the interlaced consequences of each other. He plays with the repetition and variation of recurring elements. The themes usually comes from everyday emblematic consumer goods such as sneakers, hamburgers, fitness industry, fashion accessories etc. Showcasing contemporary cultural habits and identities, during his painterly practices these motifs turns into an abstract, tactile painterly language connected to the historical backgrounds of European painting traditions as well.
