Diaphanum as a mediator between physics and metaphysics," for which he was nominated for the best theoretical thesis at UAP in 2016/2017.

"Supreme II," the second painting in the series #000000. Formally minimalist, it paradoxically contains every element of the reflected world, thus referring to classical painting, imbued with content. The title Supreme refers to the suprematist figures of Kazimir Malevich and at the same time a well-known clothing brand, the name emphasizing its irreverent uniqueness. So, too, Supreme II seems to constitute itself as a painting beyond paintings, containing infinity enclosed by the artist in classical wooden frames."
