Alex Grey Quotes About Perception

I would like my art to be about the possibility that each of us has to realize our connectedness with this great Spirit, whatever you want to name it, our inherent Buddha nature, Christ consciousness, primordial reality, the ground of being, God.

All the inspiring ideas we have as artists originate here.
