The fact that people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions.. the people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when painting them. And if you say you are moved only by their color relationships then you miss the point.

The abstract artist has given material existence to many unseen worlds and tempi.

The romantics were prompted to seek exotic subjects and to travel to far off places. They failed to realize that, though the transcendental must involve the strange and unfamiliar, not everything strange or unfamiliar is transcendental.

We are concerned with similar states of consciousness and relationship to the world.. ..If previous abstractions paralleled the scientific and objective preoccupations of our times, ours are finding a pictoral equivalent for man's new knowledge and consciousness of his more complex inner self.

Art to me is an anecdote of the spirit, and the only means of making concrete the purpose of its varied quickness and stillness.

A painting is not a picture of an experience, but is the experience.

To me art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk.
