He considers his work as a kind of diary notes. The artist transfers to the canvas moments that left a trace or association with one or another object in his memory. Vivid advertising posters surrounding the artist since childhood had a great influence on the formation of his artistic style. Therefore he focuses on color and the search for harmony in a combination of shades in his works. The names of the artist’s works quite often are based on quotes from songs or paintings by famous authors.
