"A little later, I was more interested in the neutral and systematic documentation of all the colors that we can see and their random placement on the pictorial surface. With this method, I avoided the creation of color and shape in the picture and only had to determine the pictorial format, the proportions of the grid and the material's quality. The resulting pictures have a tendency towards absolute perfection and give me an idea of the almost infinite number of possibilities."
