Linked to urban art, his work goes beyond the boundaries of strictly street art, taking on different formats and techniques such as sculpture, canvases or installations. According to the artist's own words on his website, "My work focuses on the Anthropocene, created and accelerated by our patriarchal system. I approach human behaviours that I find disturbing, highlighting the eternal inconsistencies that characterise the modern individual as a result of his ambitions and limitations. The aesthetic game displays amusement, but also sarcasm. Thus, the works are addressed to a diverse but thoughtful audience, capable of understanding the proposed artistic dialogue. The pieces adopt different formats such as installations, canvases, street murals, comics and are subject to any new challenge that may arise, always being faithful to this biting relationship".throughout his career he has exhibited all over the world highlighting the Mirus Gallery 2019 or Swinton Gallery among many others.
