Cutting out the shape of visible objects or their shadows, the artist places and combines them on one canvas overlapping the forms on one above another. The objects sometimes are abstract, and sometimes figurative, often inspired by the landscape that the artist finds in architecture and other elements in the city. The overlapping composition of forms and colors are the characteristics of the artist's paintings.
