Expression for me does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive; the place occupied by my figures, the empty space around them, the proportions, everything has its share.
...The more a picture has to give, the greater it is.
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
My curves are not crazy.
An artist is an explorer.
The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.
