- “Paintings are about many things and at the same time about nothing more than painting itself. They don’t have narrative content; they don’t tell stories.” Feltus said he seeks silence in his work and believes “Art…should not merely reflect our surroundings like a mirror, adding to the clutter, but become something more wonderful, more meaningful.”
