I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

I do not paint nature. I am nature.

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely

I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them.

The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
