The colors are quite beautiful (reminiscent of Maxfield Parish) and the
quality from what I can see is very nice. The figurative images touch on
several genres with a subtle religious sentiment.

I don't recognize any significant "art manifesto," although I do recognize
a successful effort in depicting sensuality and nakedness in a Randian sort
of way (I agree with Anders). The request for a "moral" art is poorly
represented and actually has little relevance to the images
themselves. (The words are more significant and poetic in this regard.)

Thanks, I enjoyed viewing the images.
