He has been active as an artist in the professional field since 1980.

His work reflects his great love for expressive autonomy and there is a lot of attention for detail in his work style at the beginning is influenced by Salvador Dali and the Fantastic Realists for their grandiose, theatrical scenery main styles are fantastic realism, photorealism and surrealism work is mostly inspired by travel, music and personal experiences work is carnal, rich in colour and vibrant with light.originals are to be found in the private and public collections in Europe and the United States.

On his work: "It is hard for me to discuss my work because I don't like the idea of influencing someone by explaining my own thoughts and opinions concerning my art. Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a story or simply be the expression in symbols of my inner feelings. In terms of technique, I generally work on canvas prepared with at least two coats of gesso. I do a pencil sketch on paper, then on the canvas before painting with acrylic and then in oil."
