All cultures have had means and techniques of expressing their immediate aims - the Chinese, the Renaissance, all cultures. The thing that interests me is that today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves.

My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.

It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed after a while you may like it or you may not.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.

When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.

The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
