His visual universe is governed by its own laws and conventions. This pictorial reality is created through a system of signs comprising forms and colors, composition and perspective, light and shadow. It is an artificially created, painted language that translates what is seen spatially and felt sensually onto the surface of the canvas. In the process of painting, a transformation takes place. The starting point—the inspiration for the painting—is preserved, is often even emphasized, and develops a life of its own.
