The artist's approach to abstraction is not a conceptual or analytical exercise, but a
life -
affirming method of communication with the viewer, each brush stroke containing much more than just visual
information: «Paint strokes do a number of things, but they do not simply describe the form in my work: they
affirm the human spirit, the involvement of the human spirit» (S. Scully, Resistance and Persistence: Selected Writings, London, 2006, p. 25).
