In principle, any abstraction of the object is allowed which has a sufficiently strong creative power behind it.

What are you? What am I? Those are the questions that constantly persecute and torment me and perhaps also play some part in my art.

What matters is real love for things of the world outside us and for the deep secrets within us.

Space, and space again, is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained.

I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.

The stronger and more intense my desire becomes to capture and record that which is unsayable, the more tightly my mouth stays shut.

Painting is a very difficult thing. It absorbs the whole man, body and soul, thus have I passed blindly many things which belong to real and political life.
