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.

Our entire being is nourished by color.

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.

Don't let your silly dreams fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall.

The problems with this world cannot possibly be solved by sceptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need people who can dream of things that never were.

For should your hands drop white and empty All the toys of the world would break.

White people on Facebook, I discovered by reading people's messages and walls, tended to lurk and judge.

You can only acquire it successfully if you cease to feel any sense of shame.
