The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.

To experience visually, and to transform our visual experience into plastic terms, requires the faculty of empathy.

You must break all the rules of painting, but you must also convince me you've had a reason to do so.

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.

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 cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects.

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