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

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

Drawing is the basis of art. A bad painter cannot draw. But one who draws well can always paint.

Dreams form the bristles of the artist's brush.

We are part of the world creation, and we ourselves create nothing. Our knowledge allows us to make use of all the forces already in existence, our art to interpret emotions already felt. One big war, an epidemic, and we collapse into ignorance and darkness, fit sons of chimpanzees.

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 communicate my innermost perceptions through art.
