“Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.”
“The Dervish is detached from the real world, disinterested in the pleasures of the senses, but only searching for God – consciousness through detachment and austerity. Like the dervishes of old, I am only interested in raising our awareness and uplifting the human spirt through the art of visual story telling.”
