I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.

I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught.

I don't see why we ever think of what others think of what we do – no matter who they are. Isn't it enough just to express yourself?

The unexplainable thing in nature that makes me feel the world is big fat beyond my understanding – to understand maybe by trying to put it into form. To find the feeling of infinity on the horizon line or just over the next hill.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

The abstraction is often the most definite form for the intangible thing in myself that I can clarify in paint.

It was in the 1920s, when nobody had time to reflect, that I saw a still-life painting with a flower that was perfectly exquisite, but so small you really could not appreciate it.
