What was Moreau's approach to creating art?
My artistic process was one of deep contemplation and meticulous construction. I treated each canvas as a world in itself, layering colors and details to create a sense of opulence and enigma. I drew inspiration from diverse sources – classical antiquity, the Renaissance, Eastern art, and esoteric texts – weaving them into a unified vision. My aim was not simply to depict, but to reveal hidden truths and psychological complexities through the evocative power of imagery and symbolism.
