Creation of graphic art in traditional technique as well as visual arts generally, is a serious, fundamental matter nowadays. It is not just a creation, but a primal scream, concern, glimmer of hope that speaks not just about the survival of the human expression, but about the survival of the humankind, culture, and civilization. These are not just words too strong, but a big, crucial turning point of humanity. Traditionally, graphic art creation is principally humble, quiet, unnoticed and unobtrusive. It is free of aggressive theatricality, vanity, and desire to exert dominance and gain false glory. Today, graphic and visual creation stand at the big turning point – the turning point that marks a way to oblivion, or a way to some hope and idealism, the quest for lost harmony that has disappeared somewhere along the road of the ‘perfect’ progress. There is a big, dominant and deceitfully attractive road sign at this crossroad, that leads directly to the universal spiritual homeland that is attacked from all sides and destructively marginalized by the great flood of the cruel materialism (Faustian Syndrome). On the other hand, which is hardly noticed, there is a hope, idealism, and spiritual belief of visual artists and creators overall. It is quiet and unobtrusive, and like the most sensitive seismograph, in the silence of another space and time, it fulfills its spiritual and creative prayer for the survival of our heart, love, and purity of our view. There are few of them, but they might be kind of pre-heralds, signs, that might become more relevant, more substantial for the survival of the true art – art that is pure, sincere and emotional to comprehend the world in harmony and enlightened by Divine, (cosmic) essence. Every day, the work and creation of this small group of ‘rejected’ devotees seriously and constantly prevent approach to the transhumanistic abyss that the mankind is heading for indifferently and numbly, without noble, idealistic ideas, preoccupied only with simple notion how to live through. However, certain happenings and trends in visual arts are arising, far away from glamorous, fruitless snobbery, distinct from vain elitism, with different ambitions.
