What goes on in abstract art is the proclaiming of aesthetic principles... It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations. Art never can be imitation.
The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.
Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.
It makes no difference whether a work is naturalistic or abstract; every visual expression follows the same fundamental laws.
My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of life and nature.
Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.
