Quotes from Joseph Raffael

Watercolor is an alchemical medium - colors mixing with water, joining with it, being extended by it - creating new life where none had been before.

I have learned from nature that all is equal... all is equal and in balance. I see everything as fitting together.

The way I paint, the scale of the information in the images which I want to paint demand space.

With all its variety and liveliness, color acts in the work of art as blood does as it circulates through our bodies. Color is what keeps the painting alive and moving.
