He created many abstract text (as seen above) As you can see he has put letters horizontally and vertically.  The way they are placed makes the text harder to read yet if it is viewed as an artwork it becomes more interesting and abstract.

This typography work is even more abstract and harder to read than the first one. Here you can see the text swirling or being sucked into something. most of the text is unreadable. It's like the artist doesn'w want us to focus on the text but on the image itself.

His work has received awards of exellence by Swiss Federal Department of Home Affairs in Bern.
