Phi's abstract works lean towards Abstract Expressionism (Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman), which allows him to fully focus on the visual challenges of painting, without having to worry about Figurative elements. Furthermore, the way a work is created represents a radical break with traditional painting.
His works are executed when a long-considered inspiration is developed into a quick application of the basic colors (action painting). This is followed by numerous interventions in which the medium (acrylic, oil, etc.) is added, painted over, or scraped off.
Each work consists of multiple layers, transparent or opaque.
Phi often works with themes or color identities. This creates series of homogeneous hues. Many of his works have a vertical linearity with a subdivision of the page. The resulting vibrancy lends itself to calling his works "Phibrations."
The works consist of series or two or more planes.
