Saber's earliest works were massive 'wild style' graffiti pieces. He used roller latex paint describing the forms of the letters in his name. In 1997 Saber painted the world's larges graffiti piece on the banks of the Los Angeles River. Measuring 250' by 55' and requiring 97 gallons of paint, this work is considered to be one of the most important pieces in graffiti history.

At first glance, one might conclude that Saber seems to have a dark shadow over his head. However, upon closer examination, his work appears to have hidden hints of greater insight. Saber's pantheistic approach to gothic structures seems to have been derived from his home background. He sketches many of his work before applying them to canvas. This enables him to achieve great precision in the balancing of his works. At the same time, in order to show that he has mastered several techniques, he uses nature to convey a sentimental setting in his pictures.

Even though Saber has adopted many changes in his style of painting he did not abandon his spiritual approach to his gothic works. The style and tones that Saber's paintings take have been linked to the events that took place on his creative path. Throughout his works, he exhibits control over the neo-gothic sentiment, the stylistic artifice and intimate observations of nature. He holds these in close balance. Saber's observations of light and atmosphere are precise and personal. In his paintings, the main features are usually silhouetted against atmospheric backgrounds. The cold colors contrast with the emotional poignancy of the mood in his pieces.
