Throughout the series, the artist's main inspiration is cityscapes and man's emotional approach to space. These works, are a philosophical and psychological journey into the city space. The buildings seem abandoned on the one hand, but on the other hand they are full of life themselves. The form, lines and patches of color cause a feeling of constant pulsation, as if they conceal some kind of riddle that the viewer can try to unravel by following completely irrational paths. This is an unusual work in which poetics mixes with the severity of technological spatial solutions, together creating an unusual plane.
