"I offer my personal, private, individual and very intimate idea of constructing the picture, without wishing to affirm myself as a definitive, ossified value system, but rather as the consciousness-based on a new sensitivity for constructivist phenomena and new plastic intuitions about the existence of various possibilities and new ways of creation of plastic structures."
