"My ultimate aim in creation of art is an integrated environment nourishing to the human eye and soul. Raised in a family of classical musicians, I compose with reference to a sound equivalent in my mind, so in creation of a visual art form it is essential for me to reach a symphonic quality through integration of colors, shapes and images.
In my studio art I work with symbols to convey innuendoes of some unpronounceable experience of my travelling soul, so that the intimate confession to my Muse becomes somewhat universal and recognizable by others. Every time it unfolds into some mythical story of love, but ultimately it is a journey to my self, so when it is viewed, people recognize the steps and travel their own journey, creating their own Myth."
— Dmitri Stroganov
