My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.

On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we're living in.

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

If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

When I'm painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a get acquainted period that I see what I've been about. I've no fears about making changes for the painting has a life of its own.
