"Color is the essence of my art. There must be a connection between my love for color and the fact that the earliest known reference to color appears in the story of creation: 'Let there be light' (Genesis 1:3)... to me, color equals the light of creation, the light of the Shekhinah, the light of my art and therefore the light of my life."
