Describing detailed landscapes of Flanders, his early works were heavily influenced by realism. Later on, he started to experiment with colors and light, reflecting an influence of impressionism. During the World War I, he stayed in England and kept in contact with his artists friends such as Gustave van de Woestijne and Edgar Tytgat. Also having influenced by the European modernist art movements, in time, his free techniques oriented towards expressionism. The distinguishing mark of his work is the way he painted the human portraits and figures. The manifestation of human characteristics and emotions on canvas made his works recognised and timeless.
