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

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

I think only of objects: of a leg or an arm, of the wonderful sense of foreshortening, breaking through the plane, of the division of space, of the combination of straight lines in relation to curved ones.

What I want to show in my work is the idea which hides itself behind so-called reality.

Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space.

When spiritual, metaphysical, material, or immaterial events come into my life, I can only fix them by way of painting.

I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting.
