In his latest works, his colours have been reduced to earthy brown, white and a luminous blue. His poetic paintings, which display an exquisite sense of composition, contain a kind of twiggy figures which float over the canvas, magical, like fire flies in the night. The lithograph displays time and speed and printed on 170 g Hahnemuhle paper size 20x33,5 cm.
