He draws out the primitive power of lines and uses shapes as components to depict allegorical worlds.
The scenes woven together by the striking geometrical representations of nature and contrasting motifs are like a story. Through universal images that continue uninterrupted from the past to the future, the artist delves deeply into the relationship between humans and nature.

The exquisite balance between the regular, powerful background and the gentle, smooth motifs is appealing. The distinctive depiction of the forest creates a unique worldview with depth through the use of color, the overall picture, and the detailed touches.
