In the second path of his career has concentrated on his own individual works of sculpture, drawings, paintings, spatial, functional and advertising designs, as well as art jewellery. Currently, his principal creative focus is artwork based on silver and precious metals - micro-sculptures, three-dimensional bas-reliefs where form is subordinate to function -  in which he alludes to archetypes and anthropological symbols from our cultural past.
