Barba’s works are free from complexities. His paintings dwell on simple themes reflective of the filipino’s uncomplicated way of life. This, in turn, makes his works easy to interpret and grasp, even for the most ordinary of people. Most of these painting also hide subtle messages of love, faith, close family ties, and other values inherent among filipinos.

Another distinguishing quality of Barba’s paintings is the symmetrical patterns made from transparent adhesive. This gives a rich texture and an almost graphic effect to the entirety of his art.
