Art, in one way or another, has an effect on each of us. When we talk about favorite artists, composers or writers, we mean people who impressed us with their works, who had a formative influence. There were a lot of people like that in my life! And a desire was born to create a series of relief sculpture portraits of personalities who had a particular influence on the formation of a world view. I chose 5 artists, 5 sculptors, 5 composers, 5 writers as well as 5 filmmakers. It was hard work - choosing the names that are dearest to me. I want to emphasize that the resulting list is not the best ranking, in my opinion, of the personalities, but simply the names of people, outstanding artists, wonderful representatives of humanity, to whom I feel deep gratitude. – Alexander Cherkov, 2019
