«Symbolism is an end-to-end method of realizing the author's vision, which permeates color, form, and detail. The palette of shades passes through emotional tension, absorbing the entire spectrum of human pain and helplessness, finds itself in shades of crimson, and gray-beige sounds a hint of the similarity of the characters with a person. . .

Free strokes and untidy forms hint at the blurred state of amorphousness of the fantastic form of the characters, which conveys their non-belonging to a certain species. These are not people, not animals, not demonological beings. These are not personifications, states, spirits, but something in between that absorbs content, but does not have a clear form. Their blurred flesh creates a new aggregate state - not emotions, but the result of feeling and living»
