Intuition is Ontology whispering in your ear.

•
The transcendental is atemporal.

•
The poet's blood is the philosopher's wine.

•
Between what is and what should be is choice.

•
Science is just another religion.

•
All life is interconnected through time and space by the ever evolving relationships energy forms with matter.

•
Close your eyes to see.

•
Habit is the enemy of innovation.

•
The expression is never as pure as the thought.

•
To live is to create. But the objects of art are meaningless. They are nothing but footprints in the snow left along the journey. As soon as the artist begins to covet his creations, he is looking back. And no matter how great the artist is, the spring will come, and his footprints, along with the snow, will disappear. Better that the artist looks forward into the unknown, and with an ax, clear new ground.

•
Where art becomes commerce, the artist becomes the whore.

•
Beauty is the highest virtue. It is the greatest goal of the artist in that true beauty is born only from a balance of every other virtue.

•
True Beauty is timeless. It can bridge any chasm and s hould be the goal of every culture.

•
Although we are at the birth of the 21st century, art has been slowly dying ever since the Dadaists gangbanged it almost 100 years ago. The post-modern era has been little more than the marketing of bad jokes to less than 300 serious curators, collectors and publications. And while I love the irreverence of putting a toilet or blank canvas on a wall and peddling it for five million dollars, in the end, we can do better - both as artist and collectors. What does it really say about museums and collectors who exhibit and own such pieces? At best, they are historians or investors.

•
Museums are graveyards.

•
It is far more revolutionary to be sincere in the post-modern world. It is also much more difficult.

•
It is easier to desecrate something than to create something.

•
Create in the face of bureaucracy and you are an artist. Let it stop you and you are human.

•
It is the malcontents who spur change.

•
Democracy is not a system of morality. Thus, Democracy is only as moral as the majority of its constituents.

•
After all the ugliness of politics, war and human greed dies, what will live on is the grace and beauty we artists have brought.
