His work often dealt with existential themes such as loneliness, death, love and fear, which reflected his personal struggles and dramatic life experiences, including the deaths of his mother and sister and his mental health problems. His style, characterized by intense colors and clear contours, had a strong influence on 20th century art and made him one of the most prominent artists of his era.
