The project is a logical consequence of the multi-pictorial experiments, and some spiritual formation of the author's quest as a personal pictorial vocabulary, and the inner spiritual freedom. All this is intimately connected with the city of Nazareth, which is far from any of the developments of modern art, and which contributed to the highest concentration of artists in their personal creative direction.

From the height of the centuries-old segment is interesting to look at the history of Russian avant-garde, prochertit strokes, his followers today, finally, to try to answer the question: what has changed since the time when the young Soviet Republic, cynically distorting freedom-loving mood of avant-garde, abolished religious institutions and the rule of lawlessness atheistic?

Who are we today - budetlyane, the happiness which made up songs? Are we closer to that cherished happiness, to spiritual freedom, inherited by birth to the Creator? Are these concepts of our untouchable property, or to continue is rekviziruetsya, sometimes along with their lives, as has happened with the same avant-garde?

In general, this draft is harmful for the Russian society atheistic worldview and natural for the Russian soul religious identity. Figure , invisibly present as a representative of the early avant-garde, not chosen by chance.
