Known for his work in the fields of fantastic realism and new objectivity, his distinctive style blends elements of pop art, surrealism and expressionism, creating intriguing and often provocative compositions.

He often uses images of machines, industrial objects and urban landscapes to express his ideas about the human condition and the tensions between man and machine.
