• “I know exactly who my viewer is: a man with eyes. Unlike so many artists, in principle I appeal only to those who have eyes. Since there are few such people - our country is more likely to have a verbal than visual culture - it is clear that the circle of people who are interested in what I do is not too wide. But it’s easy to calculate ” ^[4] - Semen Faybisovich, 2011 .
