Looking at the smallest things, in and around us, in which the immense beauty can be recognized.Exploring the richness of human intercultural connections through geometry. 

The game of symmetry, asymmetry, movement, rhythm and spatial tension. His geometric compositions of straight and sometimes curved bands and/or planes are simple in shape and refer to art-historical and philosophical subjects. Bringing it back to simplicity and what is not essential.
