Catalogue Note
'Every day I am more amazed about being here and rolling through space on a sphere [...] Everything amazes me. I paint my amazement, which at the same time is delight, fear and laughter. I do not want to exclude anything from this amazement. I want to paint pictures with many things, with all the contradictions...' The artist cited in: Gisela Rosenthal, Vieira da Silva 1908-1992: The Quest for Unknown Space, Cologne 1998, p. 79
