Although, his passion to the art as an artist is creating his own style, and expression which guided him to two major art movements. These have affected him and motivated his search: Postimpressionism and Fauvism on one hand and Art Deco on the other. Revolving around Drama and Symbolism of sign, his art expression has a very simple rationale attaching palpable emotions of life to an inferred scene insinuated by symbols and colors.
