Caja Boogers' paintings generally focus on altering viewers' perceptions. To do so, he uses painting conventions such as the usage of perspective, diptychs and repetition, and forces a connection between these formal elements and the painted subject. He believes that all of these elements are inextricably connected to the viewers experience. His work is often characterised by layers and scratches, as well as little imperfections on the surface, and can vary from photorealistic paintings to monochrome abstractions.
Because of his uniform way of presenting, Boogers ultimately creates a connection between the work and the space. This spatial quality takes the emphasis off the singular image, and forces you as a viewer to look at the work as a whole. His craftsmanship enables him to present the image in a manner that prompts viewers to question what they are seeing- if it's even a painting- reminiscent of trompe l'oeil techniques.
