Since 2018, he has been experimenting as an artist in mixed media.

He made his first works using the Polaroid lift technique - when the photographic emulsion is separated from the slide and transferred to paper. Thus, the first series of postcards was made. You could see shots from everyday life in a shared space with sloppy captions and abstract watercolor spots.

In search of a more accessible and faster technique, the artist focused on working in digital format and printing works using the cyanotype method (a silver-free photographic process that gives an image of a blue tint).

The series "Idles", "Acupuncture" and "Nature morte" belong to this stage.

They already show a more conscious use of images, phrases and the technique has made it possible to print works in small collection runs.
