He combines glass, metal and wood, fills wired meshes with black pressed concrete, experiments with bronze, alluminium, corteen steel. A sculpture technique in which iron nails are being pressed and the wooden structure burnt to leave only the metallic shell exposed. This method give to Džamonja's sculptures a new value of inner space and light.
