I like subversive humor, freckles, women's knees and long hair, the laughter of playing children, and a girl running down the street.

The purpose of art is mystery.

My investigations resembled the pursuit of the solution to a problem for which I had three data: the object, the thing connected with it in the shadow of my consciousness, and the light wherein that thing would become apparent.

Do not accept any explanation of the world either through chance or determinism. You are not responsible for your belief. It is not even you who decides that you are not responsible - and so on to infinity. You are not obliged to believe. There is no point of departure.

Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.

The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.

My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
