The secret is to throw yourself into the water of life again and again, not to hang back, no reservations, risk everything, but above all strike out boldly with all you have.

Art must always remain earnest... Art must be serious, no sarcasm, comedy. One does not laugh at a loved one.

Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes.

Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes... Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an explosion into unknown areas.

When something is finished, that means it's dead, doesn't it? I believe in everlastingness. I never finish a painting - I just stop working on it for a while.

I do not paint in front of but from within nature.
