The most important thing they have in common is that they are part of a generation that has experienced upheaval in social and political systems. Their works develop along the lines of their personal lives and local issues, and are therefore characteristic of a portion of contemporary art production. They move forward as well as backward, toward the future as well as the past, opening up the foundations and abysses of the human psyche, and coupling the intellectual and spiritual interior with the experience of an accessible exterior. They succeed in creating a “face of the times,” and, by using their personal iconographies, hit upon persuasive statements about the world.
