This poetic and expressive quality of his work is achieved especially through the technique of décollage, among others. By superimposing layers of different elaborations and altering them through the action of pulling out fragments, Garikoitz achieves unique effects that, although flirting with chaos, are not exclusively the result of chance. Cuevas carefully selects on which parts of the canvas he applies the preparations ─in which he mixes lime, polymers, pigments or fibers, to achieve very specific effects─ and which will be the method to extract these finishes, even going so far as to set fire to the canvas. This process creates pieces of enormous textural power.
