***************
Everything starts from
an empty white canvas . . . The
soul is a black dot
***************
Abstract painting is
the autonomous hammer
of the sacred eye
***************
Subdued blue is a
heavy cross to bear . . . A grief
lovelier than flame
***************
Existence is an
internal necessity
justified by art
***************
Only the artist
can grasp the vibrating light
of mystical sin
***************
True art is hardly
human . . . It’s the expression
of a stillborn child
***************
Color burns with a
mysterious power . . . I
fear its blind demands
***************
Civilization
is made more frightening by
adequate poets
***************
There is only one
road to follow . . . It won’t take
you to the next world
***************
It is the artist’s
duty to violate his
essential being
***************
Sunday is a task
too painful to bear . . . It will
damage your objects
***************
Music is breath . . . Its
enigmatic echoes are
full of silent chords
***************
