Artistic and creative credo: Visual art in all possible forms, correlation between different professions, thinking out of limits stipulated by appointed laws. “An innovation arises from the synthesis of the art laws which at first sight seem to be incompatible, but in fact they are just different viewpoints of one thing. Why do artists and critics ask themselves about fusion, interweaving or full differentiation of arts? Is it possible to speak about deep synthesis?”
