His paintings, sculptures and drawings are all one of a kind, hand-crafted and have been sold internationally, with some making their way into the homes of Hollywood directors. His art is represented by the Saatchi Gallery, with regular auctions on Catawiki.
"Mechanical Guardian"A monumental figure-construction rises in the center of the composition simultaneously robot, idol, and architectural fragment. A golden circle at the top functions as a "head" or solar disk, establishing a vertical axis for the entire structure. Two dark circles below, like an eye or gear, reinforce the sense of mechanical life.
The palette is deliberately restrained: dusty blues, muted burgundy, brown, and beige create a sense of aged metal, patina, and industrial archeology. The light background of the upper zone contrasts with the heavy, dark mass of the lower zone sky versus earth, spirit versus matter.
The work fits into the tradition of industrial Cubism but speaks in contemporary terms: the figure does not threaten, it guards. Or waits.
