“The inspiration for this series originated from the white curtain that covers my window. Beyond that curtain: the outside world. I can’t see the outside world because of the white curtain. But I know it is there. I sense what is there or could be there. And when I am watching this, the process of painting starts. Each of the works in this series is an absolute minimal beginning. Because the beginning contains everything. It’s not in the end that something is happening. If not this beginning, if not the existence of one point, this one singular yellow square, or red square or form, this structure, this one and it’s shadow -so it means there are already two tones, sometimes even three, four, ten, meaning that from one point you already have a lot- It all lays within the beginning. The works in this series are elementarily holistic and unitary. They portray a profound compository simplicity. Whereas contemporary life dictates that we are surrounded by an abundance of details, looking at this abundance, this chaos at once, means that one sees almost nothing. On the other hand in these works, in which there is almost nothing to see, it is here one starts to see everything. In the emptiness of these works, one never knows what is behind this emptiness. Behind this emptiness is your idea. And if you are intelligent enough, than with your mind and ingenuity you will transcend this emptiness and have a comprehensive, fulfilling experience. I love this quietness, to go inside the color of a painting, this meditative quality. When you are standing in front of a painting, looking at it –I found out- it gives the best satisfaction for me. Every time I look at my window, I know that this is the same window, and that it will never, never change. Yet I see difference every day, not only because the color or light might change, but because my ideas change. I am thinking differently today and looking at this window, I see something different.”
