Artist's Statement

The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art. Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art. From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. All art is at once surface and symbol. Diversity of opinion about a work of art show that the work is new, complex, and vital. (From The Picture of Dorian Gray. I created Kerubin calendar and CD ROM for 2003 where I expressed my statement of art through the selected words of Oscar Wilde)
