Our entire being is nourished by color.

In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

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.

It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.

Painters must speak through paint, not through words.

Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.

Art is something absolute, something positive, which gives power just as food gives power. While creative science is a mental food, art is the satisfaction of the soul.

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.

Well done is better than well said.

I learned that courage and fear always come as a pair. If you've gone one inside you, you've surely got the other.

Oprah is rich, Bill Gates is wealthy. If Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with Oprah's money, he'd jump out a fuckin' window and slit his throat on the way down saying, "I can't even put gas in my plane!"

People have opinions about everything and especially when you get into that world of animal rights or tree rights or whatever rights, they all have an opinion.

If you never play you will never lose, but you won't win either. If you never climb a mountain you will never know for sure how good the view is.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.

I don't even like being quoted in a press release.

There's something about the human brain, that it actually has a predilection towards negativity, which served us really well when we lived in an environment that was very threatening.

My main wish is to get my books into other people's rooms, and to keep other people's books out of mine.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I have a slightly volatile personality. I don’t suffer fools well.
