“In my most sincere artistic expressions I focus on reality, for everywhere I look I see the veiled abstraction of reality, of our space, ‘under every leaf and behind every tree’; or as Horowitz said of interpreting the masterpieces of piano literature, the essence of music is “behind the notes”.
I am renewed by conveying the subtlest of abstractions behind the reality in which we live, the feelings of them, as faithfully as possible with paint; they deserve my very best brushstrokes.”
