Since 2016 he has been working in the field of painting. He is a co-author of the book "Artistic design of fabrics" (together with Angel Ovcharov).

He is one of the authors who is interested in the purely pictorial moment, letting himself be guided by intuition.

For him, the artistic process is an excitement that he wants to convey to the viewers.

In the wall carpet "Dedication" the excitement is felt through the pictorial palette of forms.
