My art is an exploration of spatial and formal relationships. I find it challenging to create equilibrium in the various relationships between color, line, form, and texture. I use strong playful colors and patterns as an expression of the vibrancy of life. I want to intrigue the viewer's mind with unique construction, interweaving connections, and unexpected visual surprises. 

Paul Pelegrin

All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks he or she looks but they don't really, you know.

Henry Moore

What I expect from any work of art is that it surprises me, that it violates my customary valuations of things and offers me other, unexpected ones.

Jean Dubuffet

The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.

Vincent van Gogh

Art is everywhere except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Louise Nevelson

It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everyone else.

Henri Matisse

I shut my eyes in order to see.

Paul Gauguin

Photography is a sad art. It's gone but it remains.

Richard Avedon
