"The work of Arto, simultaneously defies and demands interpretation. No one who has been confronted with his unusual world of abstracted human figures can escape a deep fascination and a driving need to know more about its 'hidden' meaning. This fact, in itself, does not constitute a paradox; true works of art often possess this 'double face'. They are visible, open to our inspection and simultaneously keep hidden truths in their depthswhich can only be expressed and experienced through them.

No language, neither that of the artist himself nor that of the most discerning critic, can replace this sense of feeling... the feeling of suffering which is the necessary part of the inherent tragedy of the human condition. Arto's work is a noble definition of humanity, a classical vision of Man that is presented to us in a visible and aesthetically pleasing form."

Dr. Rigas N. Bertos, Art Historian, McGill University
