He is obsessed with the future and the way humans can use technology or vice-versa, technology might even use humans. Dangiuz stated:^[6]

My style is heavily influenced by Cyberpunk and Synthwave art movements. Two completely different styles, featuring futuristic post-apocalyptic/dystopian scenarios and retro-futuristic outrun '80 scenarios. I must say I'm in love with these styles and the related works, be it movies, books, songs. I listen to a lot of Lo-Fi and Synthwave Music. I like to read some dystopian books as well, such as "1984" and "Man in the High Castle"... And I love Movies / TV Series like Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, and so on.
