His pieces encompass his surroundings, the emotional ties and characteristics, and often even incorporate the material elements a setting has to offer. Traditionally relying on cotton canvas, a mixture of acrylic and oil based paints as well as a pallet knife, his canvas, medium and means of application are also often entirely subjective to to what inspires him.
