Each artist creates his own world, its outer universe. This world is based on real feelings, but he was not real, because it is impossible to live. The concept of an abstract is not associated with any trend, the direction, it is associated with the abstraction of nature. All artists, from rock paintings to the present day, comes to creating the universe, a microcosm, not like the environment, which is not a semblance of life.
Vermeer Delft, in my opinion, one of the most loyal kind of artists, but it is very far from the imitation of nature. If you recreate the atmosphere of one of his paintings, just a background, dressed in clothes sitters and photograph, we will witness utter abstraction of nature. In my opinion, Vermeer Delft is more abstract than Matisse. Isms, trends come and go with the space velocity. Huge demand for fashion. Enterprising businessmen have come to the point that create their works without any difficulty, without the need for paints, brushes, canvas. This "art" can hardly be called fine.

Generous Paris contributed to the flourishing of talent Dutchman Van Gogh, Chagall Jew, Spaniard Picasso, he forged in the crucible of its sonorous name of an Armenian Garza.
Poetic lira Garzou sad and pensive. Finding no solace in the surrounding reality, he is looking for his ideals in the past, are transferred to the good old days. Memories always console, memory keeps them distant mournful light. In terms of aspirations, the mentality Garzou closer to the old masters, and even if in his works there is no direct analogy to their creativity, it is impossible not to feel this atmosphere in his paintings.
Harlequin masters, looking through the cracks in the mask, in some sense autobiographical, as if the artist himself transferred to a bygone era, in the distant province, concealing his true condition, feelings and experiences. And the Harlequin-Garza, who lives in a gothic castle, carried away on a sailing ship in the Gulf of dreams, living in the ghostly Versailles or in the capital of the kingdom of water in Venice, touches the most sensitive strings of our hearts ...
Figure Garza, - the foundation of his worldview. His electrocardiogram, as if delineated pulse period, the breath of the planet. Restless "prickly" drawing the outlines of objects reported urgency, expressiveness, giving it features great imagery. Thin lines are dense weave a graphical network that enriches the texture. In this seemingly chaotic intersection of the strict constructive and architectonics.
World Garzou - irrealen, it is filled with mystery and charm. The works of the artist, having a character of extraordinary performance, are involved in a specific attributes with ancient cannons, ships, fairy, knight's armor - not perceived, however, as an anachronism, Illustrating scenes of antiquity. On the contrary, creates a sense of the existing world, though, is push the little curtain, and you will endure on this enchanting island, privacy and time to be saved by the noise and bustle of modern life.
