Ga's work is often described as "Emotional Still Life," a term reflecting his use of imaginary flowers and vases, created from his internal vision rather than real-life references.

His art has been well-received internationally, including sold-out shows at the Miami Art Fair and participation in art fairs in France, Singapore, and Hong Kong (Riverside Gallery).
