Happiness Is Being On The Beam With

I Would Like My Work To Be Recognized As Being In The Classical Tradition (coptic, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese), As Representing The Ideal In The Mind. Classical Art Cannot Possibly Be Eclectic. One Must See The Ideal In One's Own Mind. It Is Like A Memory - An Awareness -of Perfection.

I Hope I Have Made It Clear That The Work Is About Perfection As We Are Aware Of It In Our Minds But That The Paintings Are Very Far From Being Perfect - Completely Removed In Fact - Even As We Ourselves Are.

I Want To Emphasize The Fact That We All Have The Same Experience And The Same Concern, But The Artist Must Know Exactly What The Experience Is. He Must Pursue The Truth Relentlessly. Once He Sees This Fact His Feet Are On The Path. If You Want To Know The Truth You Will Know It. The Manipulation Of Materials In An Artwork Is A Result Of This State Of Mind. The Artist Works By Awareness Of His Own State Of Mind.

When You Look In Your Mind You Find It Covered With A Lot Of Rubbishy Thoughts. You Have To Penetrate These And Hear What Your Mind Is Telling You To Do. Such Work Is Original Work.

I Think Our Minds Respond To Things Beyond This World. Take Beauty: It's A Very Mysterious Thing, Isn't It? I Think It's A Response In Our Minds To Perfection. It's Too Bad, People Not Realizing That Their Minds Expand Beyond This World.
