Weinberger defines his works as contemporary figural painting. The foundamental aim of his works is to bring out social awareness, dealing with local and global problems that influence our daily lives. His opus must have a really effective impact for spectators; therefore he tries to achieve this goals through the alienating use of colors. Weinberger wants to catalyse in the mind of observers a process of ackwnowledgement about the issue, whose the painting deals with. Some of his works are characterised by clear borders and a minimum number of scenes in undefined environments. Meanwhile, others are packed with narrative, which makes their readability highly intricate.
