"(...)I bruschi contrasti in bianco e nero, l'insostenibile vibrazione dei colori complementari, il baluginante intreccio di linee e le strutture permutate (...) sono tutti elementi della mia opera il cui compito non è più quello di immergere l'osservatore (...) in una dolce melanconia, ma di stimolarlo, e il suo occhio con lui."
