His preferred subject is the city with all its density, its streets, intersections, and at the same time with its interiors, the portraits that show us how important it is to him to look at everyday life and everything that defines the environment we are familiar with. The character of his pictures and views is defined by the emergence of the colors, by contiguous openwork passages, by insertions and expanded image sections, by dark and patchy zones. In this way, the surface is ordered and animated at the same time and determined by broad color units. Nothing in his representations, which seem to come from a single swing, is left to the indecisive line. Something spontaneous, decisive for the distribution of shape and object, guides the references in the picture.
