His pixel art pieces are characterized by their intricate details, smooth animations, and vibrant colors that bring his creations to life. In a recent interview with #FF0083, he shared his inspiration for delving into pixel art:

“When I first started making pixel art, it was to create the kind of retro video games I used to play when I was a kid. But gradually, it became a full-time art technique for my personal work. I love the fact that there are no lines, no hands involved; it’s like a form of Impressionism, but sleek and shiny like a film. With pixel art, I aim to create something between photography, cinema, and illustration.”
