“The rich meaning of a work of art is its intrinsic, spiritual form. The Underlying theme of any work of art is so ‘universal’ that it can fit an infinite number of concrete situations. Intuition along with the subjective unconscious are significant elements of quality presented in the work. I feel an important part of, and much of my own work strongly reveals social consciousness and ideological convictions, which are inevitably connected and expressed most subjectively in my own work. My art can suggest as it represents and at the same time evoke thought and emotion in others.”
