The artist masterfully unfolds his fine composition on the painting’s surface; his emphasis on the drawing, on linear labyrinthine developments, on a unique deafening chromatic and dynamic writing and on controlled intensity of the form and strength of the line are his strong tools… He comfortably manages to put together the simple austerity of the form plainly and with no pretensions. The intense pulsating red color dominates, opening a window to the world of fantasy; its dynamic graphism takes on a constructive nuance in structuring the form. It is a search for its formal values until the essential is captured and its own truth alongside it.
