He designs lighting fixtures and company signs made of glass for street business portals. His fine art activities include small sculptures, which accompany his work so far, in addition to his early light mobiles. He makes his glass sculptures using the pâte de verre technique, which depict animals, fairy-tale and fantasy figures. In addition, he paints flat glass sheets using a cold technique and places them on top of each other, so his glass paintings have a specific spatial effect. The spatial and planar representations provide the opportunity for rich associations with moral lessons similar to fairy tales.
