“I think that art should be an amalgamation of all that the painter has experienced. It can never be all-inclusive, but is filtered, as it were, through one's consciousness, arriving on the canvas as a reduction from the whole.
Art is, or should be, a culmination, a gathering point of one's
experience of existence.”... D. Barnett
