Even before the turn of the millennium, he was using the computer with a graphics tablet not only for sketching, but also for creating digital graphics, which he then printed out in A3 format. Nevertheless, he likes to work with the conventional technique of drawing charcoal and chalk on wrapping paper, especially for illustration. His artistic activity, however, focuses on painting, often in large formats. Since the beginning of his stay in Mallorca, his work has been based on the impressions he received in his new home, which he then presented as "non-objective mood pictures".
