"Although my impulse, as an artist, always came directly from nature, I never had any wish to be descriptive. The tangible things around me simply served as a visual and emotional stimulus that made things happen on the canvas. I am convinced that no matter how extensively abstracted the finished art work is from its original source, if its concept is the result of personal involvement, it will have a truth that no clever designing, no coy juggling of materials, can convincingly approximate. I was always more concerned and moved by the phenomena of nature - the wind, the sun, the light, the storm - than the objects on which they manifest themselves. Nevertheless the two are inseparably related, as the personal experience is tied to a specific event with specific objects existing in time and space." - Gabor Peterdi, https://www.artline.com/artists/dealers_artists/peterdi-gabor.php#artiststatement
