Until the beginning of the 1950s, his painting style was characterised by tone-in-tone painting with muted colours. After that, he visibly used stronger colours. The composition of his paintings can often be compared to that of a mosaic. The colour and composition of his paintings are in a markedly tense relationship. Large-format paintings in public spaces contributed to his fame. Over the years he developed an independent, unmistakable style. His paintings are fascinating because of their colouring, but also because of their strong compositional quality. He takes his motifs from everyday life, unpretentious, yet very sensitively observed. He remains faithful to figurative painting, although in the late 1950s and 1960s strongly geometric compositions are discernible.
