The eluded essence like a complex, a "skeleton" of the visual tissue. Love nesting in will- power. An address to a friend-to-be or a new acquaintance, a chance visitor to the exhibition. The spawning-place of imagination flirting with recent history. A tiny surface challenging imagination. A miniature, an infinitely small format of the painting challenging concentration. Explainable, combinable, rapidly' put in order, intense and communicative.

In global communication - a solution in favor of reduced weight, ecology "Irrational" symbols embedded in the surface like emblems forming mutual orchestration .A "rhizome" like the essence of visual tissue; visual tissue like a rhizoid filament. A high degree of poetry, meditative focus and extreme rationalization supporting harmony (transfer of visual works of art from one part to the others).

The decision triggers realization in times unkind to visual art. Situational solutions for scheduled exhibitions: every man for himself - with a limited choice of materials, scarce attention of the public and meager financial help of cultural institutions. The eluded essence in the causation of repetition. The way of expression and post-event action unmatched in modern American history.

Emotion colored with a degree of indefiniteness. I'm inventing a soothing balm for hurt emotions. The balm is conceived like a visual tissue, a "pictorial pill" for re-establishing spiritual balance. Assumed responsibility for one's own program. And the cries of surprise: How can you exhibit, write, take photos and draw in those harsh global circumstances? The stereotype and most frequently uttered answer is: "This is my job."

Despite our destined commitment, the free-thinking poets-painters are left speechless when we hear the sentence "This is my job".
I'm presenting you a "pictorial pill" for re-establishing your inner balance, and much more. (lztok Šmajs Muni)
