 His Famous works of art are based on the abstract expressionism. Most of them are totally abstract so they couldn´t fit into my work, but there are some more that have the same kind of category in which I am trying to get into: the drawing of landscapes; abstract landscapes.

A landscape in which the abstract expressionism is totally expressed, could be used in my work except for the color, I want the black and white to be the most important colors in the painting. Another example of the artist. As we see, the landscape is not too defined, the same expression I´m also trying to make with the explosion.
