His body of work ponders on the nature of power; it alters the sensationalist meaning of the journalistic image through graphic interventions which act as a vail that hides partially or completely said image. It also includes processes of gathering and contrast of data, as well as direct interventions in communication

platforms to make evident and interfere in the mechanics of media circulation and consumption.

His questioning of dominance structures such as the political and the economical ones are recurrent in his work.
