Ohnisko's poetry is a mixture of naivist technique which uses word play with highly rational punchlines, and neo-decadent sense of tragedy and quixotism of an outsider fighting the mainstream. He often uses and combines naivety, irony, humour and absurdity. Ohnisko died on 3 September 2026, at the age of 61.
