<span class=”Apple-converted-space”> </span>His works are created with a mixture of various art mediums but chalk pastel and the use of graffiti spray is what he enjoys. He tries to create keen attention to detail in order to give a visual impression and to make an observer critically study the work. His paintings are characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors and bold compositions ranging from realism to illusion art. He often draws inspiration from everything (from living to non-living things).<span class=”Apple-converted-space”> </span>
