“Only finely contemplative minds could perhaps create works of that order. Here the artist is one who has some quintessential personal knowledge of humane existence; one who has unified himself sufficiently enough: or who has sensed that the empirical or pragmatic reality is coloured by the prism of eternity. This is no momentary beauty but momentous mind-grasped tidings. It is this inner world of meanings to which this class of artists clings.” 

– Keshav Malik (Temenos, London 1992)
