For me this is real painting

Less is more
Timeless
The result of many exercise

Courage

From reality to almost abstract
Almost nothing and so much
He was a predecessor for abstract painting

A real pleasure in painting
Thinking in paint
A master of his material
It gives me an encouragement to paint
