His first paintings, engravings,
lithography and serigraphy where based
on nature sceneries but executed with
abstract techniques. They were meant
to develop a critical attitude towards
distorted urbanization and air pollution.
The abstracting activity regarding
natural painting still continues in
the background, but the motifs have
grown to a larger scale and have begun
to interfere in the composition.
