"La plus grande simplicité est souvent la face que tourne vers nous la plus grande plénitude. [...] un monde intime et vaste est présent. [... ] la toile de Sima offre l'espace dans sa plus grande ouverture, l'austérité d'une géométrie cristalline, la joie colorée dans sa plus large amplitude et dans ses plus tendres nuances." (Jean Starobinski, extrait de la préface du catalogue de l'exposition Sima, Oeuvres récentes à la galerie Le Point Cardinal, Paris, 1971-1972)
