In his work, an important role is played by art with the use of the mutual relationship and interaction between the spatial form (sculpture - a painted, ready-made object) with the use of the colors present in the picture and the plane of the picture painted on a plexiglass plate, which complement each other create various compositions depending only on the viewer object. The viewer can also take an active part in the creation process, changing subsequent configurations between the spatial object and the picture.
The second, parallel path is the work of the series under the conventional title Epicenter, in which more and more complex compositions are created - initially completely flat images, then images using the fluorescence effect of the paint in such a way that the image under UV light shows its second face, which remains invisible under normal lighting. During the next step to these paintings, he also creates animations that bring the whole composition to life, which often use sound and music, thus becoming forms that turn into optical installations.
