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

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

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

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

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.

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

Painters must speak through paint, not through words.
