My museum is full of mysterious images. In each room there is only one image. On one wall hangs a picture, on the other three are the words. Words, which I found by looking at this picture, associations, associations, feelings, imagination, my soul, my brain. If there are 30 meeting will be in these 30 images. Images, mysterious, startling, striking, of unspoken. There must be images surreal, fantastic and mystical. It's not about fantasy, it is a riddle, a reflection, a secret, a mystery.

In his famous the book "Au coeur du fantastique," Roger Caillois called mystery and a secret fantasy. As if the secret and mystery of fantasy are synonymous. I think it was wrong and misleading. Mystery of images, has nothing to do with fantasy. Thousands of digital works amongst the Fantasy Art, is not nothing mysterious in itself. His reasoning for a Hieronymus Bosch or Arcimbolda can be considered correct, if you want to take evidence about the lack of mystery in both painters, but not when their work is alleged lack of imagination or fantasy elements. Sam I do not know whether a question of language, or the overall error in the bud the problem, which was born in my head Caillois. Unfortunately I can not ask him that question. Paraphrasing Giordano Bruno "every thought contains in itself its own truth."
