One cannot expect to access the unknown
by remaining in the realm of the known.
To perceive the invisible message in a
visionary work of art, the viewer must
suspend preconceptions and allow
themselves to be transported by the
artist's vision.

When we look in a mirror, we see ourselves.
When we look through the window,
we see others.
When we look at a work of art,
we see the artist's soul.
When we look at a symbol, we see the world's soul.

The value of an artwork is based primarily on the artist's inspiration and vision.

Children's books have both text and images. Why do adult books have only text?

Manuscript books from the Renaissance contain both text and images. Why do today's books have text only?

The trouble at the dawn of the 21st century is more than just another economic cycle. We are living a cultural transformation of historic proportion — something comparable to the Renaissance if not to the birth of Christianity. To avoid a painful awakening it is vital to gain awareness of this transition. A vision of the flow of changes can be found in the work of visionary artists and scientists. Seek them.

A relationship starts with the love of the other, but its longevity resides in the love of the couple. To be in love with the life we live together is the secret.
