The themes of the city, the construction and the human being serve as a guiding thread in his work. Formally, it is affected by architectural elements in the human figure through bronze sculptures, but also appropriating materials such as cement.

Its purpose is to evoke the upheavals of the contemporary world while looking for a very particular aesthetic. The bodies are changed into structures, the faces carry windows and let the light through. The exterior becomes interior. Constructs a new architecture from human and architectural elements or objects that together form the alphabet of a new language.
