His paintings of the familiar places of his world and of the people and friends reveal an unusual sensitivity to his subject.
All the central characters and other elements in his magic realistic paintings are clearly based on his own people and the land.
Through uncompromising study of his subjects, he has imbued the commonplace with a hauntingly extraordinary character, seen in his stunning depiction of light and shadow —at once brilliant and subdued, ethereal and fleeting, and palpable. His unrelenting examination and depiction of his subject means that he sometimes spends months to finish a single canvas.
