Description
His shift to critical realism using photographic documents, limited color and political content, was a characteristic early painting phase in the years of the dictatorship. However, following the course of the process was the expressionistic elements and the intense color dominated. For most of his work the subjects are man-centered and often portraits. Abstraction mood, line freedom and color tensions coexist with the sharpness of observation, either with illustrations of people or other subjects. Throughout his work, the emphasis on visual qualities reveals his deepest relationship with the traditional values of painting.
