David J. Veale Artist Landscapes and Abstractions
"The landscape does not function as the background or the physical setting of the narrative; it is something that is alive... A landscape is not the more or less accurate description of what our eyes see, but rather the revelation of what is behind visible appearances. A landscape never refers only to itself; it alway points to something else, to something beyond itself. It is a metaphysic, a religion, an idea of man and cosmos.". Octavio Paz
