Title of TEDx Talk:

Beauty as the True Expression of the Human Soul

Beauty has always been captivating in its alienation, inaccessibility, and comparison to ideals, thus leading people away from naturalness. Valery reveals the topic in the context of a person's acceptance of themselves in modern society, the realization of beauty in oneself and others. For 15 years, he has been looking for a way to penetrate through the veil of conventions and reveal the inner beauty of a person, and in the end, he created the "Alchemical Portrait" project, which helps to see this beauty, accept oneself, one's life path, realize one's values, and simply look at the world with a smile.
