Hundertwasser's comment on the work

A daydream painting. There is a lot behind it, but it cannot be expressed rationally in words nor even comprehended. I am very proud that a thing like this has come about by my own hand. (Hundertwasser Graphic Works 1994-2000. The Exhibition of Hundertwasser's Last Graphic Works. Museums Betriebs Gesellschaft, Vienna, 2001, p. 28)
