"Color was not given to us in order that we should imitate nature. It was given to us so that we can express our own emotions."

"Color is not a quality of the object, it is a quality of the light."

"I do not claim to teach; I only want my exhibition not to suggest false interpretations to those who have their own way to make."

"I want to create an art that is pure and serene, without any disturbing or troubling subject matter."

"From the moment I hold the brush, I am conscious of what I am doing."
