The artists belief in responding to a context in a simple fashion, finds its reflection in these works. Devoid of repetitive images coupled with lack of conscious conditioning characterizes each of these paintings.

Deft usage of various materials and their unconventional combination can perhaps be attributed to the artists background in architecture.
