Under the guidance of professor G.D. Mirea, he acquires the principles of Academism. He would manifest an obvious preference for adhering to classical norms, as well as a special concern with rendering lights and shadows. He prefers the concise rendering of models, yet he does not aesthetise; he values the clarity of drawing and of the rendered shapes. He would achieve a creation based on the mixture of Academism and Symbolism. Artachino skilfully combines two completely opposite characteristics: rigour and freedom of expression. In the construction of his works, just like Brecht, he values the distancing effect. Immersion no longer holds a place in the work's contemplation, the observer no longer needs to get completely lost in the world imagined by the artist, but instead he needs to become a rather detached observer, a conscious observer, perhaps even a critical observer of the universe created by the author. As a consequence, Artachino executes works in which he focuses his attention on a single subject. As a portrait painter, he wagers his model's expressiveness, chromatic contrasts, leaving up to the observer the key to the interpretation of the work.
