"Most of all values, I believe in that of the great Old Masters, who have never failed to strive for technical expertise, whether in color, form, or composition.

        Yet I consider the achievements of modernists equally significant, in their trials of broadening the fields of abstract invention and expression.

        With a respect for the giants of the Fine Arts, I am determined to incorporate their teachings into my way of painting, through an energetic and dynamic view of reality, enriched by the expressivity of abstraction."
