Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms

Robert Smith

True Mirror

We still live in the world that covered up the Last Judgment.  That desensitizes people to killing, while defines love as either sentimentality or sex.  People are murdered for money, or worse - for ideals.  
Art cannot shy away from the human – either the good in him or the evil.  Art exists and is like an Angel.
To survive through torment, to go into darkness, we need light.  This is the idea behind Angels - the visual form of solutions, the realized form of a challenge.
Art is the mirror that shows us ourselves today, and in its eyes we see Angels.

[Kyiv, 2006]
