His style combines academic skills, his ability to understand children's drawings, aesthetics, artistic techniques, and thematics through a range of elements. He raises many questions that discuss the issues of refugee children, their suffering, the psychological and physical conditions they live in, and how to overcome them. In his paintings, he discusses political and social conflicts, and the concept of identity.
