Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.

I need to see the original paintings just as little as I have to read the original manuscripts of books.

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.

Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible.

An object is not so attached to its name that we cannot find another one that would suit it better.

I think we are responsible for the universe, but that doesn't mean we decide anything.

Too often we tend to reduce what is strange to what is familiar. I intend to restore the familiar to the strange.
