“I like the way Diego’s children’s book has an open and gentle approach to the subject of friendship. The adventure of exploring the book was a real joy and felt very open and accessible, good fun to read and play with. It brings a quiet and understanding perspective on community, communication and opens us to subjects that are vital in our societies today. The joy of finding hidden images is like finding friends, you never know where one might be with just a little looking and an open heart. Look deeper. Even though at first glance you may have the story laid out, look again. The joy of Diego’s book is in its ability to quietly give the reader/s the option to receive the message.”

Please feel free to use the post to your advantage. I will also be posting on facebook."

“The Painters' Gallery and in particular the artwork of Ceasius Kakius has brought me personally an immense feeling of passion for one of my favourite things in life, art & colour. The depth, the amount of emotion and the detailed beauty of his paintings, creative books & the entire community work and initiation to other local artists through his gallery has inspired me to paint again, find expression of self through creativity and in the process meet extraordinary people. Thank you!”
- Maira Widholzer, Director of The Pink Phoenix Group
"I wandered past the Gallery on Saturday and was instantly drawn to your pictures in the window. I wandered in and was shown around your works. I was fascinated by how they told/showed one thing from afar with so many small stories and thoughts close up. My favorite piece was The Nest, The Balloon. Just stunning. Your Compulsive Thinker piece summed up my life right at this time. Let go of the past, forget about the future and live for today. I think the nest/balloon also represented in a similar more subtle way. I came back a couple of hours later to buy the compulsive thinker (as I could not afford the other) however after staring at it for about 20 mins I couldn't buy it as in fact it felt too close to home at a time of significant change in my life that I was almost too scared to have it on my wall . However I would like to let you know that I loved your work - they are so thought provoking. I have never been drawn into a piece of art like this but have thought about it all weekend and so thought you might want to know. Should you have further exhibitions I would be very interested in seeing them. Wishing you the best of luck with your work."
