I think our minds respond to things beyond this world. Take beauty: it's a very mysterious thing, isn't it? I think it's a response in our minds to perfection. It's too bad, people not realizing that their minds expand beyond this world.

Doing what you were born to do … That's the way to be happy.

You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.

It is commonly thought that everything that is can be put into words.

When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.

My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.

When you look in your mind you find it covered with a lot of rubbishy thoughts. You have to penetrate these and hear what your mind is telling you to do. Such work is original work.
