Cutting straight into color reminds me of the direct carving of the sculptor.

Do remember that one line does nothing; it is only in relation to another that it creates a volume.

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

If my story were ever to be written truthfully from start to finish, it would amaze everyone.

Slowly I discovered the secret of my art. It consists of a meditation on nature, on the expression of a dream which is always inspired by reality. With more involvement and regularity, I learned to push each study in a certain direction. Little by little the notion that painting is a means of expression asserted itself, and that one can express the same thing in several ways. Exactitude is not truth, Delacroix liked to say.

One must, of course, have one's entire experience behind one and not have lost the freshness of instinct.

It is my dream to create an art which is filled with balance, purity and calmness, freed from a subject matter that is disconcerting or too attention-seeking. In my paintings, I wish to create a spiritual remedy, similar to a comfortable armchair which provides rest from physical expectation for the spiritually working, the businessman as well as the artist.
