Every art expression is rooted fundamentally in the personality and temperament of the artist.

The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color. Our entire being is nourished by it. This mystic quality of color should likewise find expression in a work of art.

A thought functions only as a fragmentary part in the formulation of an idea.

I can't understand how anyone is able to paint without optimism.

Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.

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.

A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual synthesis.
