The geometric phase was his most characteristic phase. In this phase, he synchronized dialogue with Byzantine and Macedonian folk tradition. [4] His more recent work had a tendency to synthesize carefully selected sequences of the spiritual - the aesthetic and plastic repertoire of medieval art and those forms of nonfigurative and associated art, as it tradicionalist tissue could allow modern cohesion. His painting was a complex composite assemblage, with delicate and formal structures using various aesthetic and visual data, in order to become a work of art autonomous aesthetic phenomenon. These are bands that resemble the cult, sacred objects: through them constantly goes to a modern sense of the artist's inner needs, spiritual ritual, and aesthetics of these pieces to fit into the current art movement, the meditative and skeptics understanding of the world.
