I am an illusionist. That's why I create art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.
Sometimes my art is just an illusion - or is it?
When I did my first few television specials, my illusions were so advanced that it took a couple of years before the other illusionists could even figure out what I was doing, let alone try to imitate me.
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
I believe in illusion - I don't believe in magic.
Illusion is an anodyne, bred by the gap between wish and reality.
I'm an artistic kind of person. I draw. I've drawn my whole life. When you have an imaginative mind, I think the artistic form manifests itself in different ways. When I was younger, I used to draw murals for people.
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
I'm an idealist without illusions.
While producing art works, illusions appear from time to time due to my mental illness. Every day is a struggle for me.
