He depicted the world of male and female love, the Bible, and mythology as a fairytale world with diverse and brilliant colors. In his paintings, landscapes and figures melt into colors, and time and space merge, creating a phantom-like color and atmosphere. One can feel his love for his wife and hometown, as well as a message seeking love and peace.
