"Ensor sees with his imagination, but his vision is perfectly accurate, of an almost geometric precision. He is one of the very few who can really see. Like you, he has an obsession with masks; he is a seer as you and I are. The common herd, of course thinks that he is mad.*****************You shall see what sort of man Ensor is, and what a marvellous insight he has into the invisible realm where our vices are created... those vices for which our faces make masks."

It wasnâ€™t what we were working on, it was a start-up, and I felt guilty. That was stupid! It was the future.”
“Our emotions are made by God, yet they too must bow before Him”
“In the â€™70s it was skateboards, in the â€™80s it was drugs, in the â€™90s it was art, and now itâ€™s my family.”
