"Artworks can guide you by way of analogy to recognise - and even understand - aspects of your life. That explains the rich diversity on display: the gallery aims to facilitate this experience to different visitors, i.e. to more than one kind of consciousness. This is why an artwork sold as a result of the aesthetic experience is most rewarding here, because the why and the how of the way I prefer to make a living are the two sides of the same coin."

"The truth is that this gallery is much more than a commercial enterprise. In a time of great uncertainty it is, perhaps, an act of defiance. It is certainly a declaration of faith - faith in the future, faith in the rest of us. Faith that we, too, are the sort of people who search for truth and beauty amid disorder. In a sense, he defines us. This gallery says to the world: This is the sort of people we are. We do not buckle under stress. We value our cultural heritage and we refuse to live tight, restricted lives. We will not allow our spirit to be stifled. We WILL express ourselves, and by doing so we shall help shape this society and its values."
