I want to see how life can triumph.

The artist confronts chaos. The whole thing of art is, how do you organize chaos?

Black art has always existed. It just hasn't been looked for in the right places.

Painting is the act of discovery and you're constantly enlarging your horizon or finding yourself every time you paint.

If you're any kind of artist, you make a miraculous journey, and you come back and make some statements in shapes and colors of where you were.

You put down one color and it calls for an answer. You have to look at it like a melody.

Sometimes the mind relives things very clearly for us...There are roads out of secret places within us along which we all must move as we go to touch others.
