In self portraits, the unity of the constructive principle of the composition of shapes and the process of abstraction informed by synthetic cubism were manifested.In the early 1960s, following the work of Dubuffet, he investigated the load-bearing capacity of non-traditional materials. The paintings were given their own spatiality by the relief modeling of the plaster base in the underpainting. The shapes of expressively deformed figures are modeled from a grainy structure. One of a kind artwork.
