“Art is the reshaping of reality by man to present it in an understandable way. As the artist recreates the world around him, it is shaped by how he sees it and what he believes in. The Indian artist did not attempt to depict only the material reality around him. He wished to share the complete experience of the movement, not just the photographic presentation of the shapes around him.”

“Thus was created a great and enduring tribute to the Buddha and his path. Of all the inspired monuments, created by Buddhist monks, the most eloquent was at Ajantha. Here, with hammer and chisel, with paint and brush, the followers of the Buddha created a great monument. Its inscriptions proclaim that it was meant to last forever!”

“The attitude of the artist is not one of struggling against the vicissitudes of life. Instead, it is of surrender. There is no valour, there is no heroism. There is only the search for the still center of the turning world, with all the activity of the life, the look is within.”
