He is characterized by remarkable wideness of vision of the world, in specific motifs of nature he reaches somewhat planetary feeling of genesis, life realities are transformed by his brush into multi-association images which stimulate fantasy of the spectator, possess particular spirituality and the feeling of communicating with magic mystery of the essence of creativity.
