Man needs colour to live; it's just as necessary an element as fire and water.

Enormous enlargements of an object or a fragment give it a personality it never had before, and in this way, it can become a vehicle of entirely new lyric and plastic power.

The realistic value of a work is completely independent of its properties in terms of content.

Even a part of an object has value. A whole new realism resides in the way one envisages an object or one of its parts.

This truth must be recognized as a dogma and assume the validity of an axiom in the general understanding of painting.

I organize the opposition between colors, lines and curves. I set curves against straight lines, patches of color against plastic forms, pure colors against subtly nuanced shades of gray.
