To the question "Why do the Angels, and why they were twelve?" the artist approached philosophically: "The belief in the Guardian Angel has always accompanied me in my life. This is an image of higher forces that are present in the work of every writer, artist or actor. They present every day, all twelve months of the year. "
Looking closely to the works, the viewer can read in each of them the poetic lines subtly inscribed by author’s stroke. "The golden dream", "golden expances", "the golden autumn", "the golden sonnet"... The noble gold has become a thin link between the two exposures, symbolizing the spiritual wealth, the treasures of the cultural heritage and human values.
