To me, art is the glorification of the human spirit.

Our entire being is nourished by color.

Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.

To worship the product and ignore its development leads to dilettantism and reaction.

It makes no difference whether a work is naturalistic or abstract; every visual expression follows the same fundamental laws

Being inexhaustible, life and nature are a constant stimulus for a creative mind.

The child is really an artist, and the artist should be like a child, but he should not stay a child. He must become an artist. That means he cannot permit himself to become sentimental or something like that. He must know what he is doing
