The use of form and light to depict positive movements and energy are characteristic of Segerak. The artist uses primarily oil and charcoal in consistent and singular colour tones to give focus and attention to the changes in mood. He delves into progress, enlightenment, and focuses on what should always be the anchor of future developments — tradition and culture.
