Simplicity is complexity resolved

Don't look for obscure formulas or mystery in my work. It is pure joy that I offer you. Look at my sculptures until you see them. Those closest to God have seen them.

The work of art expresses precisely those things which do not die. It must do so, however, in a form that bears witness to the artist's own era.

What is real is not the external form, but the essence of things.

In art, one does not aim for simplicity; one achieves it unintentionally as one gets closer to the real meaning of things.

When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.

Why talk about sculpture when I can photograph it?
