In the early nineties he met the German artistic scene, which worked in the style of “Trompe-l’oeil” (optical illusion) which is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. This fine technique, which was already used by the old masters fascinated him.
