| In his Painting what is insensible finds
a way revealing itself, and human figures with their enigmatic signs alternately
act and are acted upon by the other features in the painting, which now
becomes a cosmos in itself. It is a half-and-half world that is born and
disintegrates at one and the same time, and is expressed through shades
of colour and meaning which are so corrosive that they can trap the passive
viewer, afraid of great upheaval, into an atmosphere of harmony which she
or he thinks exists but is in fact the artist' s quest of it. Through the
energic force of colour the painter succeeds to arouse the psychological
mechanism, which on a more profound level than judgment poses the most
essential questions and also discovers the most redemptive solutions.
