An artist must not feel under any constraint.

If I close my eyes, I see things better than with my eyes open.

It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.

My pictures are made up of four or five colors that collide with one another.

Jazz is rhythm and meaning.

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.

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.
