His drawings, embroideries, ceramics, collages, sculptures, and installations come from different subjects, originating from visual investigations into natural and dreamlike events as if taken from old hardback encyclopedias or magical books. Among these subjects: the formation of stones, the origin of volcanoes and mountains, the fall of meteorites, the planets that surround us, the strange shapes of corals, shells and trees, the possible existence of unidentified flying objects, the execution of magic tricks, the transformative operations of alchemy and magic, the visual effects of opium and its derivatives, the images that inhabit nightmares, horimono-style tattoo designs, and science fiction films.
