A distinguished representative of Neo-Expressionism, he is renowned for his unique style, distinctive imagery, and refined colour palette. One of the central motifs in his work is the horse – a symbol embodying the primal nature, spirit, and intellect of humanity. It represents the inner ego that resides within individuals and also reflects aspects of the artist’s own personality.
