I was driven on by.. A force which I see today as something alien to my normal life... so I have been no more than a medium as it were.

A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.

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.

It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.

A painting in an interior spreads joy around it by the colors, which calm us.

The splitting up of color [as Impressionists did] brought the splitting up of form and contour . . . Everything is reduced to a mere sensation of the retina, but one which destroys all tranquility of surface and contour. Objects are differentiated only by the luminosity that is given them.

The importance of an artist is to be measured by the quantity of new signs which he has introduced to the language of art.
