There Is Something Breathtaking About The Basic

He Who Wonders Discovers That This In Itself Is Wonder.

The Things I Want To Express Are So Beautiful And Pure.

I Try In My Prints To Testify That We Live In A Beautiful And Orderly World, Not In A Chaos Without Norms, Even Though That Is How It Sometimes Appears. My Subjects Are Also Often Playful: I Cannot Refrain From Demonstrating The Nonsensicalness Of Some Of What We Take To Be Irrefutable Certainties. It Is, For Example, A Pleasure To Deliberately Mix Together Objects Of Two And Three Dimensions, Surface And Spatial Relationships, And To Make Fun Of Gravity.

By Keenly Confronting The Enigmas That Surround Us, And By Considering And Analyzing The Observations That I Had Made, I Ended Up In The Domain Of Mathematics. Although I Am Absolutely Without Training In The Exact Sciences, I Often Seem To Have More In Common With Mathematicians Than With My Fellow Artists.

If I Am Not Mistaken, The Word "art" And "artist" Did Not Exist During The Renaissance And Before: There Were Simply Architects, Sculptors, And Painters, Practicing A Trade.
