Unless you are naive enough

 to be chosen to be simple

who dares to fly against the wind

but he is the guy

to lead us to be simple

in the complicated world

and enlighten us

simple is the powful key to the world

a moron like me

take a detour

to find out that

the secret of the beauty

already emerged in front me 

before i was born

Create a new guild of craftsmen..

and create the new building of the future

which will embrace

architecture and sculpture and painting

in one unity

by Walter Gropius

***************

Stable yet dynamic

flat yet deep

uncolored yet colorful

simple yet complex

by Josef Albert

*************

When I paint and construct

I try to develop visual articulation

I do not think then about abstraction

and jsut as little about expression

I do not look for isms

and not at momentary fashion

I see that

 art essentially is purpose

and seeing that

form demands multiple presentation

manifold performance

I do not see that

forced individualism

or forced exaltation

and the source

of convincing formulation of lasting meaning

In my work

I'm content to complete with myself

and to search with

simple palette

and simple color

for manifold instrumentation

so I dare further vaiants
