The abstract paintings involves themes or color identities. This creates series in homogeneous color tones. Many of this works have a vertical linearity with a subdivision of the pictural space. The resulting vibration lends itself to calling his works "Phibrations".
The works consist of series of 2 or more surfaces.
These abstract paintings are sometimes completed with dismanteled music instruments.
Dismantled musicinstruments are used to create 3 dimensional compositions.
Phi Gura experiments also with digital paintings since 1983. Starting from a drawing or typographic elements he elaborates in a unique way with artistic processes, he is guided by the power of coincidence and is surprised when it appears that the work is suddenly completed.
These creations are transposed on canvas by a giclée process
