Origami started as a hobby, and by 2005 he was creating his own original designs. Most of his pieces are abstract shapes, naturally formed by the tension of the paper when multiple layers of paper are arranged according to regular or irregular patterns. In addition to paper, Goran also works with copper sheets.
