Through a long absence, have not been to me
As is a landscape to a blind man's eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart;
And passing even into my purer mind,
With tranquil restoration: -- feelings too
Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps,
As have no slight or trivial influence
On that best portion of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts
Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust,
To them I may have owed another gift,
Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood,
In which the burthen of the mystery,
In which the heavy and the weary weight
Of all this unintelligible world,
Is lightened: -- that serene and blessed mood,
In which the affections gently lead us on, --
Until, the breath of this corporeal frame
And even the motion of our human blood
Almost suspended, we are laid asleep
In body, and become a living soul:
While with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things.
By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).
Composed A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey,
On Revisiting The Banks Of The Wye

Being an artist is not something you decide. It's a state of mind. It is not a choice ....
From the darkness comes the light
I have known the two extremes, light as well as darkness. These extremes are poles that go together ... they are a driving force for each other, you might say. Life seems to be made up of opposites ... light and dark. The feelings they evoke seem contrary, but there is a hidden connection between them. They cannot work without each other. The experience of light is only possible by living the absence of light, and in contrast to its opposite, darkness. Art is the only true expression of the feelings of the infinite journey deep within oneself. For me it is a metaphor for the eternal search for balance between these two fundamental elements of human existence.
