Speaking as an artist;

''Art is essentially a personal response to the visual world that the artist, and most do I feel try always to look from a deeper involvement as in trying to get into the soul of all things but it ends up as only the essence of things in imitating the exterior surface and then that deepens the mystery even more as to what's real ...

but without Art there would be no joy or torment in being alive for my Art has been my voice,  otherwise I would not have spoken.''
