Feelings like passion, fear, doubt as well as the submission, the resistance to power and the violence implied in it, are seen in his artwork. Various intertextual elements, techniques, and concepts are combined in the typical illustration of the character. THE NEW GOD persona, symbolizes antiquity and modernity at the same time.
