About

“I concur wholeheartedly with Arturo Schwharz when he states, “The poetic quality of the work depends on the fact that its creator is motivated by forces and drives of which he is unaware. A great artist is an unwitting alchemist. He explores the memory of an archetypal world without realizing it. The motifs of archetypal symbolism emerge in his work independently of his will. It is not the artist who creates the symbol, quite the contrary, it is the symbol that imposes itself on the artist. [ . . . ] ” – Quotation from site of Patricia Bellan Gillen
