Creativity and Worldview
The formation of the worldview of Fedor Tetyanich was influenced by communication with older people, living witnesses of the events of the current era. In the worldview of Fyodor Tetyanich, such opposites as religion and atheism, communism and nationalism, European and Russian, traditional and modern were bizarrely mixed.
An important place in the worldview of Theodosius Tetyanich is given to the concept of “Friulia” (“Frіpulia”), which in the presentation of Fedor Tetyanich has an infinite number of names and decipherments, including from the words “free” (free, freedom) and “ripple”, that is, in a sense, "free ripple", which was the foundation of his work. Also in this concept an important place was given to the respect for people, nature and the environment as a whole.
The artist and philosopher associated the emergence of the concept of Friulia with his difficult, colorful, bitter and ambiguous life experience, in particular with a wonderful dream, which he encrypted in the very word of Friulia denoting God and man (himself, Fedor) and the universe with all its beauties and miracles, as well as horrors and troubles, as one inseparable whole.
