His work combines matter, signs and symbols, often with a strong spiritual and political value. He used poor materials (sand, marble dust, paper, fabrics) and graphic signs to create dense, evocative and tactile surfaces.
The main subject is the representation of a shirt, made with the etching, aquatint and carborundum printing technique: a technique that is used to create a relief matrix that, through pressure, transfers the ink onto the paper, producing an image with particular textures and tones. The lower part of the graphic, on the other hand, is characterized by more dynamic elements, typical of his style.
The sheet measures 78x59.5 cm and with the frame 82.5x64.5x5.5 cm. There is the signature at the bottom right and on the left the edition 36/75.

The state of preservation is very good, with only slight wear due to age and use. The sheet is fixed at the four corners on a rigid cardboard panel and has slight three-dimensional deformations.
