Light, colour, love - let me come under your spell. Life can be represented only by a lively kind of painting. There is clarity in passion.

More quotes by Stefan Szczesny

As a means of expression, painting must deliver universally valid statements, make allegorical reflections on life, and create new mythologies.

Mustique (2002)

Paintings are complex puzzles in the twilight world between abstraction and figuration. I use the medium in a simple, unsophisticated way to express what I don't see expressed anywhere else.

Mustique (2002)

The power of memory - magic- myth - abstract beauty. I paint pictures that have never been seen before. Visions of another world. At once sensuous and intellectual.

Mustique (2002)

A painting grows like a plant. Use all colours, all shapes. Everything that attracts and excites me is a part of me. Painting is about proportions, relationships which breathe life. "Painting is a harmony which runs parallel to nature".

Mustique (2002)

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
