It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible.

I think art parallels life; it is not a report on nature or on intimate disclosure of inner secrets. Color, in my opinion, behaves like man -- in two distinct ways: first in self-realization and then in the realization of relationships with others.

Color is like cooking. The cook puts in more or less salt, that's the difference!

One line plus one line results in many meanings.

We never really perceive what color really is, as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.

Thus art is not an object, it is an experience.
