From the author's introduction: "On this opening up to the reader the perspectives of external beauty and moral beauty lies perhaps a certain value of my works. In a great effort, born and constantly re-created attempts - no longer to understand, but to show a part of our world - are the result of a great work born of love of man and admiration for the passing moment. For it is precisely the power to stop moments and give them permanence - the struggle against transience - that is the artist's deepest task.".
