Since the 1980's when Keith Haring, David Hockney and Pee Wee Herman, among many others, collected his work, Mandad has explored banality, profundity and humor, usually at the same time. His sculptural work is conceptual, preliterate and brings contrary ideas into a tence harmony.

Mandad is a quintessential "mixed media" artist; his work includes a plethora of materials and ideas.

One of Mandad's early and continuing projects is "The Animism Series". One aspect of the series is mimicking mass production by replicating small sculptural art/toys. It was prescient of the current art/toy movement that started primarily in Japan in the 1990's. The series is comprised of one-of-a-kind works of cartoon-like rubber characters, the most prolific of which is "CAT". The work is produced as large and small sculpture, chromogenic and digital prints and t-shirts. The series includes animals and inanimate objects, such as a TV, Toaster, Phone, Tree and Bear.

In the last 25 years, Mandad has exhibited in galleries and museums in Europe and North America. He was Artist-In-Residence at Science World in Vancouver, curator of the "Altered Mona Show" in Brno, Moravia, Czech Republic and participated in the first post-revolution retrospective of the legendary Czech dissident group "Crusader School of Pure Humor Without a Joke", held at the Central Gallery of Bohemia in Prague.

In 1997 he combined his experiences in art and social work to found "The Creative Workshop" for developmentally disabled adults in Sechelt, British Columbia, which continues to this day.

Mandad's work has been primarily acquired by private art collectors seeking him out in his studios from the rain forests of Northern British Columbia to the Czech Republic, New York and the California Hi-Desert.
