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

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

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.

Genius is gifted with a vitality which is expended in the enrichment of life through the discovery of new worlds of feeling.

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

Art cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.
