... You know this well: the poet never lies,
The real is not enough; through its disguise
Tell us the truth which fills the mind with light
Because, without each other, all is night.

I want to show the truth not the physical reality. There exist more faithful media to accomplish that.

In Transrealism, style can not be binding to express the essential reality. Hence comes the mixing of styles, even within the same one artwork, for a style in itself have a force of expression and serve as a tool of communication.

Man must be addressed so as to communicate to one, and to gain ones willingness to listen to the message one needs aesthetics. There is no shadow without light and no light without a shadow. Here aesthetics is light and shadow is the lack of such. Aesthetics can not be exiled but our message can not be flooded with it either because if a piece of art does not include both light and shadow then the potential in life fades away and the message becomes shallow.

The task of todays fine art is to take in and integrate todays world with all of its elements. That cell phones, advertisements, satellite internet and many other things are part of todays world is a well-known and accomplished fact. There is no point in protesting against it, turning it into a manifesto or calling it into ones attention we have known it for a long time.

Today, at the beginning of the 21st century this is our life, not less than man of old times had his own surrounding life that was than captured as natural. This, todays world must be communicated not with the art of protest but with the tools of art in harmony with life to man in a quality and level that was done by the classical masters of fine art in their time. If not with the same tools, but not less immortal must be given about todays life.
