His preferred method of art is non-representational abstract art, surrealism, figure, and still-life. I noticed that he uses oil paints majorly. There were several detailed pieces of art as I entered the room. The white walls held up the vibrantly colored paintings. The gallery had a white noise of conversations all over the room. There were other artists in the room and their names
