“Painting... is the language which speaks to the soul, in its proper form, of things which are the daily bread of the soul and which it can receive only under this form.”
(Wassily Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art, 1912)

“The soul... is the emotion of intelligence which moves to colour and produces the starry sky and mature fields by Van Gogh... is the emotion of intelligence in front of the beauty and harmony of being, the emotion to see it, to take part in it and capacity of reproducing it through own work”
(Vito Mancuso, L'anima e il suo destino, 2007)

“Creative photography does not reproduce the visible, creative photography makes it “visible”... it does not only watch it, but shows it”
(Franco Fontana, Interview, 2003)

“The mirror is the way to recognize your identity, the way to recognize yourself.”
(Michelangelo Pistoletto)

Art is a window on our mind and a violin in our heart. It helps us see thousands of vibrations of the real world through which our eyes –like darkened binoculars– just wander. Art helps us hear the sound of our soul and the concert of the other souls in the universe. But the magic lies, above all, in the fact that this window and this violin belong to anyone: the one who paints, photographs, carves, as well as the one who stops in front of an art work and doesn’t only watch it, but also tries to feel it. In that case art, if it really exists, links two souls at once.
