"We could compare Van Puyvelde’s approach to painting to an instinctive, all-encompassing vision, a careful and patient observation of a small plot of land where every is silent, but where everything is happening at once, where the wind varies, the lights move, and where that which often remains in its place suddenly seems to be no longer there."

of a realist not to harbour excessively high expectations of the result of his efforts.
