Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I don't know what to say about what I paint, really.

Abstract painting seeks to be a pure pictorial language, and thus attempts to escape the essential impurity of all languages: the recourse to signs or forms that have meanings shared by everyone.

Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own.

Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.

The substance of painting is light.

Painting is a coalescing of experience.

I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human.

Mostly people are ignorant, what is the language of painting. You know, they're ignorant. It is so difficult to make them aware, but time will teach them.

Painting is the passage from the chaos of the emotions to the order of the possible.
