"It would be a mistake to ascribe this creative power to an inborn talent. In art, the genuine creator is not just a gifted being, but a man who has succeeded in arrranging for their appointed end, a complex of activities. of which the work is the outcome. The artist begins with a vision - a creative operation requiring an effort. Creativity takes courage."

Henri Matisse

"I am struck by elusive textures, atmospheric qualities, dynamic shapes, soft contours or whatever elicits a response from the "eye" of my mind. All of these keep goading me to create the unexpected - regardless of technique. Clearly, the emergence of the unseen springs forth only from within."

Don Artamas
