Starting To Paint, I Felt Gloriously Free,

There Is Nothing More Difficult For A Truly Creative Painter Than To Paint A Rose, Because Before He Can Do So He Has First To Forget All The Roses That Were Ever Painted.

Whoever Wishes To Devote Himself To Painting Should Begin By Cutting Out His Own Tongue

He Who Loves, Flies, Runs, And Rejoices; He Is Free And Nothing Holds Him Back.

I Dream Of An Art Of Balance, Of Quietness, Something Analogous To A Good Armchair.

It Is My Dream To Create An Art Which Is Filled With Balance, Purity And Calmness, Freed From A Subject Matter That Is Disconcerting Or Too Attention-seeking. In My Paintings, I Wish To Create A Spiritual Remedy, Similar To A Comfortable Armchair Which Provides Rest From Physical Expectation For The Spiritually Working, The Businessman As Well As The Artist.
