His work is presented in thematic categories and is exhibited as installations. As a means of expression he uses traditional techniques, random found objects, digitally processed images and videos, which he
combines with the manual practice of embroidery, trying to discuss matters of contemporary art. His compositions seek to explore acts with ideological background and matters of religious fanaticism. The correlation of these used communicative symbols produces messages that seek to raise the awareness of the viewer.
