Famous Stefan Szczesny Quotes

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

Stefan Szczesny

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."”

Stefan Szczesny

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.”

Stefan Szczesny

Mustique (2002)

“What is the secret behind the emotional effect of great works of painting? What laws govern their beauty? Delacroix said that being a feast for the eyes is the prime merit of a good painting. I seek the timeless, the quintessential in painting.”

Stefan Szczesny

Mustique (2002)

“Everything is love. "HEAVEN ON EARTH" our idea of heaven has been formed by painting and nothing else. I love pure, bright colours, their intellectual clarity of expression conveying nothing but feeling. Painting - the inspired animation of the surface.”

Stefan Szczesny

Mustique (2002)

“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.”

Stefan Szczesny

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.”

Stefan Szczesny

Mustique (2002)

“My garden, by the sea”

Stefan Szczesny

Mustique (2002)
