There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted.

Francis Bacon
Image
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
Image
Be so true to thyself, as thou be not false to others.
