Since the beginning of the 90's, he has grown up, but his inspiration is still drawn from comics. It's a galactic, science-fiction atmosphere that surrounds his murals and paintings. In his works, superheroes and fantastic characters are stretched to the point of abstraction. Thus the spirit of dismembered lettering so characteristic of his pieces on walls is also found on canvas, it is all that defines his work today.
