Value. How do we identify value? Why for one, diamonds are valuable, and for another, sticks fastened with polyurethane foam from Phyllida Barlow? Why can one justify the war and refuse to communicate with his daughter because of this, while the other feels guilty for the crimes that are hundreds of kilometres away from him?! Dostoevsky in his works clearly felt this facet of human nature. Or Mark Rothko called for the same subtle matters of the human being to improve it.
Can I attract and provoke changes through the modern language of art? Can art, which for me is highly aesthetic, cling and skratch the souls of the audience so that life-giving blood flows, flesh and humanity appear?

Will. Professor Sapolsky argues that man does not have free will. These are all hormones, our social, geographical and physiological state, as well as our breakfast. Even aggression is stimulated by changes in the brain and the presence or absence of hormones. But if we are so primitive, what makes us sometimes make unpopular decisions?
What makes us analyse the Rashomon Effect, 6 and 9 perspectives and sometimes go out of the vicious circle of everyday life? We physically begin to move, changing the space around us in order to see a different point of view. So the colour in the picture can change from cold to warm. I do not believe that only hormones and other physical factors affect the artist and his art.

Perhaps we have something more that is not controlled by the body but caused by the spiritual. Kandinsky and Tarkovsky called it the soul, Viktor Frankl called it the Unconscious God, and Kant carefully described the beauty that Dostoevsky placed at the head of the salvation of the world.
