Being an author implies transmitting ideas, concepts, messages. In art, authors care about their society, time, environment, values and ideas. For this to be possible, we must know ourselves, so BIFA leitmotif is γνῶθι σεαυτόν (gnóthi seautón - know yourself), a philosophical concept in ancient Greece. Authors can hardly create their work if, previously, do not have a knowledge of themselves.
