Norman is known among his peers and family to be an abstract painter. Norman started to fall in love with abstract art when he realized that the form of art is able to capture the emotions that he felt during the making process.

Again, Norman emphasis that his artworks are the reflection of his emotions, how deeply they are affecting him whether is it positive or negative. One of the main directions that he is taking in every painting that he did is to create a sort of seamless with no visible beginning nor ending.
