I'm interested in creating a space through color contrasts, rather than by simple shadows of light and dark.

The most important thing for me is the direct observation of nature in its light-filled existence.

What I most cherish is the observation of the movement of colors. Only in this have I found the laws of those simultaneous and complementary color contrasts that nourish the actual rhythm of my vision. In this I find the actual essence, an essence which is not born out of an a priori system or theory.
