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.

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.

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

The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color. Our entire being is nourished by it. This mystic quality of color should likewise find expression in a work of art.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.
