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

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

My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of life and nature.

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

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.

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

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