"Only there, in the silences of the painter or the writer can reality be reordered, reworked and made to show its significant side." This suggests that true understanding and meaning emerge through artistic expression, where silence provides space for reimagining reality. Ordinary actions are merely superficial coverings, hiding the deeper truths represented by the true pattern or meaning underneath.
For artists, this process offers a joyful compromise, turning life's wounds and defeats into art. It is not about avoiding fate but fulfilling it by harnessing imagination to reveal the true potential of life and reality, transforming suffering into meaningful creation.
