What goes on in abstract art is the proclaiming of aesthetic principles... It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations. Art never can be imitation.

Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.

Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.

Every art expression is rooted fundamentally in the personality and temperament of the artist.

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

A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual synthesis.

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.
