Manifesto 1957:
The problem with which I fight in my paintings, is to make an analyzed synthesis of form and color. To maintain and hold the interest of the eye, I work with movement, tension and shape repetition through an optic process. In the question of color, I use different shades of colors and always a consequent color relationship . Because, the forms are situated in different places within the depth-dimension, a movement is created between surface and the depth. Next you see the tower inverted and in this way I achieve a multi-functional and multi-dimensional appearance. It is in this way that the three-dimensional refraction appears – somehow like the prism – that which I call Dioptric.
