Inward Observation

Willem de Kooning (1904-1997)

"The artist is a master of observation. He observes the world with penetrating depth. But there is one thing that is more difficult to observe than all others. And yet, when that one thing is observed with the same penetrating concentration, the consciousness of the artist becomes transformed. And that is to observe oneself inwardly.” -ph

“On one level, observing your ego is to know yourself. At a deeper level, knowing yourself is being yourself”. - Eckhart Tolle
