The rigorous symmetrical arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm, isolating a large table covered in a heavy, sculptural white tablecloth that frames the setup like a secular altar where an ambiguous ritual takes place. Positioned at eye level against a central brown wall panel topped with a fine relief grid pattern, the glass tumbler stacked with vibrant yellow lemons provides a striking high-contrast focal point over a mathematically aligned wooden parquet floor void. Operating within the calculated limitations of representation, the artist successfully transforms a quiet domestic setup into an undeniable architectural gravity filled with an oneiric, meditative tension that evokes the rhythm of memory and dreams.
 
In most of the paintings, the artist uses an interior space as his subject, placing a table or similar object at its center. The use of symmetry and eye level often suggests an altar-like presence on the table, an interpretation undoubtedly reinforced by the tablecloth that frequently covers it. This frames and illuminates the subject in a way that interprets it as a secular altar where an ambiguous ritual takes place. The resulting images are often both serene and meditative, but they can also be filled with anticipation. This tension is sustained by a rhythm that evokes the rhythm of memory and dreams.
