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.

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.

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

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

A thing in itself never expresses anything. It is the relation between things that gives meaning to them and that formulates a thought. A thought functions only as a fragmentary part in the formulation of an idea.
