Painters must speak through paint, not through words.

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

People say 'Hofmann has different styles'. I have not. I have different moods; I am not two days the same man.

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 to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.

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