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.
The greatest mystery of all is reality.
Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement.
Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.
One of my problems is to find the self.
In principle, any abstraction of the object is allowed which has a sufficiently strong creative power behind it.
