He occupies himself with murals, paintings, landscape and portrait's (frequently in commission). At his paintings and portraits the frame is a source of inspiration.

By painting the frame in relief, so that this seems exactly real, you can let people step from one painting in to the other. The frame limits the painting, he wants to break through this, out side of this life is possible. So you can make better contact with the public. You can consider the frame as a window, where, for example, on the other side of the glass a window cleaner cleans the window. Also at the mural you can see that the painted persons make contact with the real world. By painting realistically it pulls a person's leg.
