The artist's creative credo can be formulated in his own words: “The culture of humanism and its projection through the prism of biblical parables gives impetus to the search for those creative maxims that I bring to the viewer and in which I try to evoke reflection of soul, mind and heart. Guided by the postulate: trust the one who seeks the truth, and do not trust the one who found it, I enter into a dialogue with the viewer with my creative version and give him the opportunity to finish my thought "(F. Lagno).
