Luka studied architecture for 6 years where he developed the forms of his art, where is able to see his ‘structural’ characteristics in his art. First dabbling in the graffiti, scene and then later on, moving towards more abstract graphics, one thing always being assured that colour always maintaining its principal element in his works.

Over the years he further refined his style, inspired by clear geometrical forms. First impressions of his works have an uncanny resemblance to abstract paintings, consisting of minimalistic individuals, though it is this, and the combination of muted tones, and rounded compositions all correspond to create organic shapes.
