I like these paintings because of the simple colors, geometric shapes and 3 dimensionality. I also like the thick textures created by the wooden surfaces and the layering of paint. The texture could also be from adding certain thickeners to paint or from scraping the paint so it becomes slightly 3D then letting it dry and going over it again. The colors he uses are also quite deep and look like multiple colors have been added on top of each other.
