Among his latest creations were the graphic artworks called "Bad Dreams About The Future". In most of his paintings it is the future with its new situations and problems. His paintings are the more fantastic externally the more predictable internally. He shows the forthcoming phenomenons based on his own imagination which unwittingly creates a new unique technique. The general message of his paintings is activate viewer imagination, to send him into unreal but believable world. He says: "Search the core in phenomenon: the visuals are paradoxical"
