His painting is based on the dynamic value of the 'sign', with soft and sinuous lines that intertwine and intersect each other. He created airy and soft paintings, in which the abstract matrix creatively dialogues with realism, in compositions that prefer polychromies and tonal scales dominated by blue, through the use of surrealist techniques of grattage and frottage. [1] [3] [2]

In 2016, his work "Caesarius Diaconus" (icon of Caesarius of Terracina) was exhibited in famous museums, cathedrals and basilicas in the world [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

In 2018, his painting "Apotheosis" was published on the cover of the catalog of the Public Library of Valencia for the Festival of Philosophy and Literature Avivament. [10]

In 2019, he won the competition "Volti della politica" [11] [12] with the illustration "Diarchia: the embrace between embrace between Caesar and Augustus".
