Painting seems like some kind of peculiar miracle that I need to have again and again Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impression of nature Picture Quote #1
