"In a real work of art there are always many levels: one linked to everyday life, as well as a social, and a metaphysical level. Climbing these steps is precondition for the existence of a picture. The ability to see them depends on the participation of the viewer in the creative process.
The most important thing we learn from art is freedom."
The artist cited in Szene Moskva, Berlin, 1988
