He does not confine himself to one style but instead openly goes beyond his work of art. His achievements had notable recognition that his peers dreamed of. In all of his work, he has his signature cloud and spiral art inspired by his mother teaching him how to draw a cloud when he was young. His works are also inspired by the Golden Ratio of Art that gives off his signature style in painting. His bright inner circle signature is his stepping stone to starting a masterpiece that turns nothing into something.
