   It is possible to represent this biography, for example, with pictures of  V.Valius himself, as it is shown below.

    Self-expression is not the purpose of these paintings at all. Pictures, as a rule, are painted not about the author, but about other people and for other people - for spectators. But because process of a painting assumes some knowledge of a material willy-nilly personal experience of the author has found  place there. And, having turned over various works, it was simple to choose some of them with a confessional shade.
