Throughout his painting he shows a sense of urban energy that is always present, it surrounds and manipulates us. His human consciousness and sensitivity has led him to portray in his artwork social issues like Clandestine and its isolation, and also a Vulgar version of some of the most important art
works in history with the use of elements that people can distinguish. He tries to awaken the interest of
art in all types of social groups.
