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.

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

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

My heart beats more for a raw, average vulgar art, which doesn't live between sleepy fairy-tale moods and poetry but rather concedes a direct entrance to the fearful, commonplace, splendid and the average grotesque banality in life.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.
