We are connected with our own age if we recognize ourselves in relation to outside events; and we have grasped its spirit when we influence the future.

It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form.

My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of life and nature.

In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.

The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.

I can't understand how anyone is able to paint without optimism. Despite the general pessimistic attitude in the world today, I am nothing but an optimist.

Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.
