Aquiles has obsessively favoured scrap material from the bodywork of old cars or containers of the most varied types to make small walking human figures, or perfectly flattened squares grouped according to an impeccable arrangement. He has not abandoned canvas, however, using a combination of techniques to produce an abstract work where graffiti connotes the emotional impact in the direction that the artist is interested in.

Perhaps because he first made incursions into scenographic design and art direction, critics have insisted on the basic theatricality of his paintings and sculptures, which also show humour, irony, parody, critical observation and eroticism, with an aesthetics that has a resemblance to pop art and which is marked by technical rigour. His work as art director in the film Nada, by his cousin, filmmaker Juan Carlos Cremata, is a display of his potentials and concerns in depicting people who are torn between the uneasiness and lack of definition of contemporaneity.
