I believe that art is individuality.
No intellectual accomplishment, no technical craftsmanship and no nowadays hold on "Zeitgeist" definitions, can supplant individual perceptions within the context of 18-carat creativity. Thus the artist tries with all her/his might to effectively communicate what is intensely personal in her/his very ain way.
I myself would like to be remembered as someone who did non surrender in trying to create something substantially noteworthy. My dream is to paint, sculpt and describe my essential, personal experience. I perceive, thus I exist - although there can be no proof of that...
Existence.
I know zippo nigh existence.
Emotional perceptions dance with intellectual assumptions within my encephalon, heart and soul. This admission constitutes my inner peace.
Pressing forward in the search for meaning with actuality is the artist'southward chore, and it is non an like shooting fish in a barrel i. In that location are few (if whatever) convenient answers to the most difficult questions. Often there are no answers at all. Certainly zilch tin can be considered reliably bullet proof. Given this circumstance, and inside the admittance thereof, one might be tempted to embrace hopelessness.
Withal promise remains that private perception has the potential to have universal merit. There is then much beauty in this war-stricken, competitive and bawling world. Human brutality cannot erase the beauty that inspired so many artists of the past and nowadays. Beauty may exist ridiculed, distorted and even destroyed, but it's stubborn persistence is unmistakable. It rises out of the ashes wherever possible. This has been my experience thus far, and I intend to continuously clad my observations in paint, bronze and stone for as long as I can.
Patrick Devonas, January 2013, Surava, Switzerland
"Patrick is an extremely talented painter. He applies himself to his work with a seriousness and determination that I detect quite remarkable. I have encountered few with his natural affinity for paint and even fewer with his poetic instincts. He is an avid reader and has a spirited intellectual curiosity. He paints and draws with confidence and self possession and draws from a broad range of technical knowledge and skill." "Patrick has a rich imagination that leads him to create highly ambitious works of great ability and dazzler. In all of these compositions, Patrick addresses an admirable range of subjects and themes, yet brings to them a sensuous delight in the earthly and human that is intensified by his deep sense of the mystery of being." David Davidson, PHD
