Each artist has developed a thematic line, which is far from the descriptive style; it shows the essence and depth of beings and myths, topics and concerns of the men of all times, of universal men. They are especially interested in uncovering endless material expressions. Their purpose is to discover innovative and unusual factors which are potentially in the elements chosen for their work.

“These artists possess the faculty of making people perceive the micro-cosmos lodged in the abstract spaces of reality. It is as if they wished to look for inspiration in the text provided by nature."
