I can't understand how anyone is able to paint without optimism.

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

The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.

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

Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic.

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

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