An Artist Must Not Feel

When I Started To Paint I Felt Transported Into A Kind Of Paradise... In Everyday Life I Was Usually Bored And Vexed... Starting To Paint I Felt Gloriously Free.

It Would Be A Mistake To Ascribe This Creative Power To An Inborn Talent. In Art, The Genius Creator Is Not Just A Gifted Being, But A Person Who Has Succeeded In Arranging For Their Appointed End, A Complex Of Activities, Of Which The Work Is The Outcome. The Artist Begins With A Vision — A Creative Operation Requiring An Effort. Creativity Takes Courage.

It Is My Dream To Create An Art Which Is Filled With Balance, Purity And Calmness, Freed From A Subject Matter That Is Disconcerting Or Too Attention-seeking. In My Paintings, I Wish To Create A Spiritual Remedy, Similar To A Comfortable Armchair Which Provides Rest From Physical Expectation For The Spiritually Working, The Businessman As Well As The Artist.

What I Dream Of Is An Art Of Balance.
